Motorola PTP 500 - Manual (Page 2)

Protect Your Installation!
EMD (Lightning) damage is not covered under warranty
The recommendations in this section and in the user manual, when followed correctly,
give the installation the best protection from the harmful effects of EMD
However 100% protection is not implied or possible
The recommended components for protecting an installation are:
• Solid screen Ethernet cable: Superior Essex type BBDGE.
• Surge Arrestor: Type PTP-LPU - 2 per link – Part Number 2978
• Grounding Stake (if no suitable grounding point can be found).
• Minimum 8 AWG Grounding Cable
NB: There may be a local regulatory requirement to cross bond the CAT 5e cable to
the mast at intervals as regular as every 10 metres (33 feet). This can be achieved
using an Andrew grounding assembly type 223158 or similar.
We recommend that the practices and procedures detailed in the Motorola manual R56 "STANDARDS AND
GUIDELINES FOR COMMUNICATION SITES" (68P81089E50) be applied to all new site build activities. For a
copy on the manual please see your local Motorola representative. The manual can be downloaded from the
Motorola Intranet site
