2.1.3. Lightening Protection
Warning: Never install the equipment during stormy weather and lightening.
AS WipLL devices comply with the Surge Immunity standard: EN 61000-4-5. AS
WipLL devices are protected from lightening surges as the outdoor devices (BSRs
and SPRs) are encased in a plastic chassis. Therefore, if lightening strikes the
device, an electrical circuit cannot be completed, and hence, no electrical surge can
occur.
In addition, AS WipLL outdoor and indoor (SDA) devices provide high-speed data
line protection against direct and induced transient over-voltages surges on the
cables. This capability is provided by the fact that all AS WipLL devices are
designed with TVS (transient voltage suppressor) components that maintain
potential differences.
However, for geographical areas that have above normal lightening activity, Airspan
can supply a surge protector composed of a 15-pin D-type adapter with a grounding
wire.
