1. Necessity of Lightning Protection
This lesson is very important as you learn how to convince your customer in applying SUHNER lightning protectors for an effective lightning protection
- learn how to discuss lightning issues with your customer professionally
- learn to give your customer efficient recommendations
- learn about arguments for the need of protection
Þ H+S respectively you become the experienced partner to your customer in a field which customers normally are not familiar with - therefore being grateful for professional advice - this will lead to a stable business relation
Lightning
- Physical phenomenon Lightning - not much mystics left (sphere flashes)
- Basic characteristics: electrical discharge respectively charge neutralisation
Important to know: exact figures of the hardness datas!

6. Slim Line Gas Capsule Protectors
PP/PMP Radio Protection - Protector Suitability
Outdoor powering via coax
(DC on the line between IDU and ODU)
DC power supply voltage < 150V (Belcore GR- 2908); for Europe low voltage regulations to be considered!
RF in phase peak voltage plus DC voltage must not exceed 150 V!
DC current depending on connector interface (N: 6 A max., TNC/BNC: 3.5 A max.)

7. Slim Line Gas Capsule Protectors
PP / PMP Radio Protection - Protector Suitability
RF or data signals on the coaxial line between IDU and ODU
typically IF (intermediate frequencies), up- and downlink different < 5.8 GHz
radios with < 5.8 GHz operation/”air interface” frequency can transmit it also directly
Important to know: exact values of the IF (intermediate frequencies) !

8. Slim Line Gas Capsule Protectors
PP / PMP Radio Protection - Protector Suitability
Telemetry signals on the coaxial line between IDU and ODU
many radios transmit also telemetry signals via coax.
typical such signals are in the kHz or MHz range and very low power generally
Important to know: exact telemetry datas !
