RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.6.40 18-1
Chapter 18
Lightning Protection and
Grounding Guidelines
Meticulous implementation of the guidelines in this chapter will provide best protection
against electric shock and lightning.
The RADWIN Lightning Protection System consists of the following components:
• Grounding for the antenna coax cable
• Grounding for each IDU and ODU
• External Primary Lightning Protector units and grounding for the outdoor cable
• Internal ESD protection circuits over the Power/Telecom lines
Grounding for Antenna Cable
A Grounding Kit must be connected to the coax antenna cable and reliably grounded. The
grounding kit is an Andrew Type 223158-2 (www.andrew.com). See Figure 18-1 below.
Warning
100% protection is neither implied nor possible.
Note
This chapter is at best a guide. The actual degree of lightning protection
required depends on local conditions and regulations.
