z  The antenna-side lightning arrester is installed inside the lightning arrester box, 
with its connectors sealed with semiconductor adhesive tape, waterproof 
adhesive tape and insulating adhesive tape in sequence, so as to prevent 
moisture invasion: 
z  The "PROTECTED" end of the equipment-side GPS lightning arrester faces the 
mini NodeB. In this case, the duplex adapter is required so that the arrester can 
be connected with the set-top GPS port directly. The equipment-side lightning 
arrester does not require any lightning protection grounding wire; 
For Type iS-MR50LNZ+6 lightning arrester:  
z  The two connectors on the two ends of Type DGXZ+6NFNM-A lightning arrester 
are respectively male and female, therefore jumpers with male and female 
connectors should be available for the installation of antenna-side lightning 
arrester. The male connector is connected with the GPS antenna, while the 
female connector on the other end is connected male connector of the antenna-
side lightning arrester; 
z  The antenna-side lightning arrester should not be grounded either installed on 
the tower or on building top, but the feeder grounding clip should be close to the 
antenna-side lightning arrester as much as possible;  
z  The antenna-side lightning arrester is installed inside the lightning arrester box, 
with its connectors sealed with semiconductor adhesive tape, waterproof 
adhesive tape and insulating adhesive tape in sequence, so as to prevent 
moisture invasion; 
z  The installation is completed once the equipment-side GPS lightning arrester is 
connected with the set-top GPS port. The equipment-side lightning arrester does 
not require any lightning protection grounding wire. 
 
  Caution: 
When the distance from the antenna to the mini NodeB is greater than 100 meters, 7/8 feeder should be 
adopted so as to minimize signal loss. In this case, one end of the equipment-side antenna is connected 
with the GPS port on NMCU, while the other end is connected with the 7/8 feeder via jumper. This 
jumper has a female and a male connector respectively on its ends. 
 
3.10  Binding Jumpers 
Jumpers should be bound at the outside of the antenna support lever evenly using 
cable ties. In addition all cable ties should be fastened, with a same spacing of 
200mm. The direction of the cable tie heads should be consistent. When cutting the
