Installing Cable Extended Antennas for Outdoor Applications
If the antenna or the AWK device is installed outdoors or in an open-air
setting, proper lightning protection is required to prevent direct
lightning strikes on the AWK device. In order to prevent coupling
currents from nearby lightning strikes, a lightning arrester should be
installed as part of your antenna system. Ground the device, antenna,
as well as the arrester properly to provide maximum outdoor protection
for the device.
