with the antenna set. For the detached UNI-7 antenna (A7 model) follow the instructions included
with the antenna.
2.4.5 Antenna Seal
When using outdoor antennas, you must seal the antenna connectors against rain. Otherwise, the
antennas are not suitable for use in outdoor installations.
2.4.6 Lightning Protection
Lightning protection is designed to protect people, property and equipment by providing a path to
ground for the lightning’s energy. The lightning arrestor diverts the strike energy to ground through
a deliberate and controlled path instead of allowing it to choose a random path. Lightning
protection for a building is more forgiving than protection of electronic devices. A building can
withstand up to 100,000 volts, but electronic equipment may be damaged by just a few volts.
Lightning protection entails connecting an antenna discharge unit (also called an arrestor) to each
cable as close as possible to the point where it enters the building. It also entails proper grounding
of the arrestors and of the antenna mast (if the antenna is connected to one).
The lightning arrestor should be installed and grounded at the point where the cable enters the
building. The arrestor is connected to the unit at one end and to the antenna at the other end.
The professional installer you choose must be knowledgeable about lightning protection. The
installer must install the lightning protector in a way that maximizes lightning protection.
