Lightning protection
When you mount devices and / or antennas outdoors, there is a risk of
them being struck by lightning. Additionally, there is the risk of voltage
surges being transmitted into the interior of the building. It is your
responsibility to take appropriate measures to mitigate the effects of
lightning strikes. Make sure the equipment is installed by a licensed
electrician in accordance with local, regional and national regulations for
codes and standards (such as VDE 0182 and IEC 62305) and according
to best practices for your application and environment.
Warning
