Tranzeo Wireless Technologies Appendix A Appendix A: Grounding and Lightning Protection Information What is a proper ground? This antenna must be grounded to a proper earth ground.
Tranzeo Wireless Technologies Appendix A Where to ground the device? This radio must be grounded at the pole and at the POE. This is because the radio is between the exterior antenna and the POE ground. See the examples below. Grounded Radio A grounded radio causes the surge to pass directly to ground, bypassing the radio. Antenna Radio POE Ground Ungrounded Radio An ungrounded radio causes the surge to pass through the radio. In this case, the radio most likely will be damaged.
Tranzeo Wireless Technologies Appendix A Grounded POE In this case, the surge will be picked up by the Cat 5 cable and since the POE is grounded, the route for the surge is through the POE to ground. Mounting Pole POE Ground Cat 5 Cable Ungrounded POE In this case, the surge will be picked up by the Cat 5 cable and since the POE is not grounded, the route for the surge is through the radio to the antenna, and out through the building.
