12.1.6.3
Lightning Ground
Providing adequate lightning protection is critical to a safe reliable communications site. RF
transmission cables, and AC and DC power lines must all be protected to prevent lightning energy from
entering the site.
Comprehensive coverage of site grounding techniques and lightning protection is not within the scope
of this instruction manual, but there are several excellent industry sources for rules and guidelines on
grounding and lightning protection at communications sites.
NOTICE: Motorola Solutions recommends the following reference source:
Motorola Solutions Quality Standards Fixed Network Equipment Installation Manual R56: (which
can be obtained by ordering CDROM 9880384V83).
12.1.6.4
Equipment Grounding
The repeater is equipped with a ground screw located on the rear of the repeater power supply
module. This screw is used to connect the repeater to the site grounding. All antenna cables, and AC
and DC power cabling, should be properly grounded and lightning protected by following the rules and
guidelines provided in the above reference. Failure to provide proper lightning protection may result in
permanent damage to the repeater.
12.1.7
Recommended Tools and Equipment
In addition to the typical compliment of hand tools, the following tools and equipment are
recommended for proper installation of the repeater equipment.
• Tarpaulin or plastic drop cloth or cover surrounding equipment while drilling concrete anchor holes
(for installations where cabinet or rack is being anchored to concrete).
• Vacuum cleaner for removing concrete dust caused by drilling.
