APPENDIX C
GPS OPTION 23A/23B LIGHTNING ARRESTOR
W/25 OR 50 FOOT ANTENNA CABLE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This option provides protection of the GPS unit from external over-voltage transients which can
be created through lightning, static discharges, switch processes, direct contact with power lines,
or through earth currents.
The lightning and nuclear EMP arrestors limit the amplitude and duration of the disturbing
interference voltages. Therefore these arrestors improve the over-voltage resistance of in-line
equipment, systems and components.
Note: The antenna cable described in this manual has been replaced as described in “Appendix
D: Antenna Replacement Kit” on page D-1.
The 23A option comes with a twenty-five foot length of 9913 Antenna Cable and the 23B
option comes with a fifty foot length of 9913 Antenna Cable. Both cables have Type N positive
connectors on each end.
This Option may require that the GPS unit to which it is connected have a Bias T Assembly
installed externally. This assembly would furnish a separate +5 volts to power the antenna. See
the Bias T installation procedure furnished with the Bias T.
