WARNING
Danger due to lightning strikes
Antennas installed outdoors must be within the area covered by a lightning
protection system. Make sure that all conducting systems entering from outdoors
can be protected by a lightning protection potential equalization system.
When implementing your lightning protection concept, make sure you adhere to the
VDE 0182 or IEC 62305 standard.
Suitable lightning protectors are available in the range of accessories of SIMATIC
NET Industrial WLAN:
● Lightning protection element LP798-1N (article number 6GK5798-2LP00-2AA6)
● Lightning protection element LP798-2N (article number 6GK5798-2LP10-2AA6)
Note
We recommend that you use the maintenance-free lightning protector LP798-2N.
Exception: When there is also DC power supplied via the antenna cable.
In this case, only use the lightning protector LP798-1N.
WARNING
Danger due to lightning strikes
Installing one of these lightning protectors between an antenna and a
SCALANCE W700 is not adequate protection against a lightning strike. The
lightning protectors listed only work within the framework of a comprehensive
lightning protection concept. If you have questions, ask a qualified specialist
company.
Procedure
1. Screw the flexible connecting cable for the SCALANCE W700 to the antenna.
The tightening torque at the N connector is 1.7 Nm.
2. Make sure that the flexible connecting cable does not cause any tensile load on
the SCALANCE W700 nor on the antenna. When necessary provide strain relief
for the cables.
