5 Connecting the Antennas to the Base Station
5.1 Installation of Lightning Surge Protectors
In most environments it is essential for the base station to be installed with external
protection against surges caused by lightning on the antenna cables. PureWave therefore
recommends that suitable surge protectors be installed on each base station antenna
connector.
For an indoor installation of the Base Station, surge protection devices should be installed at the
entrance to the building that houses the Base Station. For an outdoor installation they are installed on
the relevant connectors.
The optional PureWave Quantum Surge Protection Kit has been developed for your convenience and
provides hardware designed to protect the base station from surges on its antenna connectors.
PureWave strongly recommends the use of this kit. It is important to note, however, that every
environment and installation is different. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the customer and the
installer to ensure that sufficient protection is employed, whether or not this kit is utilized.
If you have ordered the PureWave Quantum Surge Protection Kit then it was shipped in the same box as
the base station. Please locate the kit and compare its contents to Table 5.
