1.0 General DescriptionLightning Protectors are installed in line with the data lines
to be protected, as close to the unit as possible. Protectors
are designed to route any lightning-induced pulses or
line perturbations to earth ground. These require that you install
or supply a good, heavy conductor from the Protector to an
earth ground link (e.g., a heavy-gage wire that is as short as possible). |
2.0 Installation2.1 PrecautionsNever install these types of products when there is lightning activity. 2.2 Proper Earth GroundLightning protectors require a good earth ground for proper protection of the equipment they are connected to. This is accomplished by using a heavy-gage wire (AWG12 or heavier) that connects the ground stud on the Protector to a building ground. This wire should be no longer than ten feet. 2.3 Other ConsiderationsSome Protectors do not have the ground stud. These units
use Pin 1 of the RS-232 connector (DB25) and you must
make sure that the equipment supports Pin 1 to chassis ground.
This can be checked with an ohmmeter. Test for continuity
between Pin 1 and the third (round) prong of the AC power line
after disconnecting it from the wall. The third prong of the wall
outlet must go to earth ground. This should be checked by
an electrician. |
