Mounting the Lightning Protection Devices Chapter 3
WinLink™ 1000 User Manual Release 1.9 3-9
The supplied mounting kit is used to mount the antenna onto a pole. The
antennas must be aligned for maximum throughput.
¾ To mount an external antenna:
1. To mount an external antenna, ensure that the antenna is properly
grounded and then mount the antenna onto the pole. Refer to Appen-
dix A for detailed antenna mounting instructions.
2. Follow the mounting instructions supplied with the antenna.
Mounting the Lightning Protection Devices
The use of lightning protection is dependent on regulatory and end user
requirements. The WinLink™ 1000 ODU is designed with surge limiting cir-
cuits to minimize the risk of damage due to lightning strikes. RADWIN rec-
ommends the use of additional surge arrestor devices to protect the
equipment from nearby lightning strikes.
Refer to Appendix C for detailed installation instructions of lightning pro-
tection devices.
Outdoor Connections
¾ To complete the outdoor connections:
1. Connect the ground cable to the ODU chassis as marked on the ODU.
2. Connect the antenna cable to the ODU.
3. Connect the lightning protection device to the ODU (see Appendix C).
4. Attach the ODU-IDU cable to the ODU RJ-45 connector (see Appendix K
for the connector pinout)
5. Screw in the cable glands to ensure hermetic sealing of the ODU.
6. Secure the cables to the pole, mast or brackets using UV-rated cable ties.
