Appendix 1 Lightning & Surge Protection 
This  product  adopts  TVS  plate  lightning  protection  technology  to  avoid  damage  caused  by  pulse 
signal that is below 3000W, like instantaneous lighting stroke, surging, etc. According to the actual 
outdoor  situation,  necessary  protection  measures  must  be  taken,  besides  ensuring  the  electrical 
safety. 
  The  distance  between  signal  transmission  wires  and  High-voltage  equipment  or  high-voltage 
cable is at least 50m. 
  Outdoor wiring should better be routed under eaves as much as possible. 
  In the open field, wiring should be buried underground in sealed steel pipe, and the steel-pipe 
should be one-point grounding. Overhead routing method is forbidden. 
  In strong thunderstorm area or high induction voltage areas (such as high-voltage transformer 
substation), high power lightning protection apparatus and lightning conductor are necessary to 
be added. 
  The design of lightning protection and grounding of the outdoor devices and cables should be 
considered together with the lightning protection demand of buildings. It also must conform to 
the related national standards and industrial standards. 
  The system should be equipotential grounded. The grounding equipment must conform to the 
demands of system anti-jamming and electrical safety both and it must not appear short circuit 
or mixed circuit with the zero conductor of strong grid. When the system is grounded alone, the 
resistance should be no more than 4Ω. The sectional area of the grounding cable should be no 
less than 25mm2. For grounding instructions, please refer to the Installation Manual of Speed 
Dome.
