RF Antenna Connections
The transmit and receive antenna RF connections are made using two separate connectors in the
standard unit. Duplexer and antenna switch accessories are also available to allow duplexed, half
duplexed, or simplex single antenna operation.
In addition, an integrated compact antenna accessory is available to facilitate mounting the antenna
directly on the unit. If the duplexer or antenna switch accessories are not used, external antennas are
required. Additionally, because the antenna is mounted directly to the repeater, it is not recommended
to use the integrated antenna in applications where a direct lightning strike to the unit could occur as
significant damage to the repeater and/or connected equipment could occur. Consult R56 manual for
details and necessary provisions for surge protection on RF cable and antennas.

Site Grounding and Lightning Protection
Adherence to standards ensures that a site is protected to the maximum degree and avoids lightning or
other power surge-induced equipment failures and, under certain circumstances, personnel safety.
CAUTION: Proper site grounding and lightning protection are vitally important considerations.
Failure to provide proper lightning protection may result in permanent damage to the radio
equipment.
One of the most important considerations when designing a communications site is the ground and
lightning protection system. While proper grounding techniques and lightning protection are closely
related, the general category of site grounding may be divided into the following sections:
Electrical Ground
RF Ground
Lighting Ground
Equipment Grounding
