Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide
Transtector Systems Surge Supressor
This outdoor-use, molded plastic, weather-tight enclosure is a surge suppressor designed to protect the
Tsunami Multipoint SU and the QuickBridge unit from lightning damage. This product can be used for
CAT5 cable lengths up to 50 meters from the outdoor Tsunami unit to indoor power adapter.
The 1101-TSU uses silicon avalanche suppression diodes (SASD) to provide lower voltage protection level
(VPL). This technology provides a superior protection level over traditional gas tube type devices. The
unit is designed to fit onto a CAT5 cable in a pass-through configuration. The input and output
connections can be made at two sets of 8-screw terminals, or two 8-pin DIN style connectors.
This arrangement allows the installation of the connectorized Cat 5 cable directly into the Surge
Suppressor, or with a cut cable.
List Price: $99/ea.
Delivery: Available from authorized Proxim reseller or installer off-the-shelf.
Physical Considerations
How are the Lightning Protection Units Connected to the CAT5 Cable?
The lightning protection units recommended are designed to be installed in-line onto the Cat 5 cable that
connectors the outdoor (RF) Tsunami unit (Base Station, Subscriber Unit, QuickBridge) and the indoor
power adapter.
The lightning protection device has a Surge (cable-facing) side, and an Equipment (equipment-facing)
side. The Equipment side faces the outdoor Tsunami unit or the indoor power adapter. The Surge side
faces the long length of cable; when installing two lightning protection units, each unit’s Surge side face
one another.
See Pin-out information for each unit in “Lightning Protection Specifications” on page 73 for connecting
the cable to the protection device.
