WinLink™ 1000 User Manual Release 1.9 C-1
Appendix C
Lightning Protection and
Grounding Guidelines
Meticulous implementation of the guidelines in this appendix will provide
best protection against electric shock and lightning.
The RADWIN Lightning Protection System consists of the following compo-
nents:
• Grounding for the antenna coax cable
• Grounding for each IDU and ODU
• External Primary Surge Suppressor units and grounding for the out-
door 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 C-1 below.
Warning
100% protection is neither implied nor possible.
Note
This appendix is at best a guide. The actual degree of lightning protection
required depends on local conditions and regulations.
