3.3 - Installing the lightning arrester
The multi-strike fast response lightning arrester connects between the
antenna and GNSS decoder. The lightning arrester provides surge
protection for the GNSS decoder (and attached systems) in the event
of a lightning strike.
PLEASE NOTE: THE LIGHTNING ARRESTER MUST NOT BE
INSTALLED EXTERNALLY.
The lightning arrester should be installed internally at the point where
the antenna cable enters the building. It is important that the lightning
arrester is grounded to a low impedance ground system for proper
operation.
THE LIGHTNING ARRESTER IS SUPPLIED WITH A SEPARATE
INSTRUCTION SHEET WITH FULL INSTALLATION DETAILS.
PLEASE CONSULT THIS SEPARATE INSTRUCTION SHEET
CAREFULLY WHEN INSTALLING YOUR LIGHTNING ARRESTER.
3.4 - Installing the GNSS decoder
3.4.1 - Mounting the GNSS decoder
The GNSS decoder converts the raw satellite data into highly accurate
time information. The decoder should be installed internally, close to
the output of the lightning arrester (the system is supplied with a 1m
(3ft) pre-terminated coaxial cable for connection between the lightning
arrester and the GNSS decoder).
PLEASE NOTE: THE GNSS DECODER IS NOT SUITABLE FOR
EXTERNAL INSTALLATION.
The decoder should be secured in position using the integral surface
mounting brackets. Care should be taken to ensure the fixings used
(not supplied) are suitable for the application. Figure 3.3 below details
the enclosure bracket fixing dimensions.
