Lightning Protector Installation
Lightning protection is designed to protect people, property, and equipment by providing a path
to the ground whenever lightning strikes your antenna installation. The RoamAbout Lightning
Protector is an indispensable part of such a grounding system to protect your electronic
equipment from transients and/or electrostatic discharges at the antenna.
For optimal protection, locate the RoamAbout Lightning Protector as follows:
• As close as possible to the point where the antenna cable enters the building.
• To allow connection to the same grounding system as the RoamAbout AP and the antenna
mast.
Figure 3‐1 illustrates how to install the Lightning Protector. Table 3‐1 lists the mounting
components.
