3.4 Lighting Protector dialog box
This dialog box opens when you click the Lightning Protector icon on the Site
Properties (page 30) dialog box. Use this dialog box to include or exclude
lightning protection (page 24) hardware for your site.
Important: Outdoor antennas and radios ordinarily require lightning protection, to reduce the
likelihood damage to equipment or injury to personnel in case of lightning strike.
Lightning protection (page 75) should be installed as close to the antenna as possible, and requires
a minimum 6 gauge wire (not supplied) connecting the lightning protector to ground. When properly
installed with a heavy gauge ground wire, the lightning protector is capable of protecting against
multiple lightning strikes.
ƒ Enable lightning protector: Select (check) this option if this site requires
lightning protection hardware.
