Lightning
Surge Protector

Wilson's Surge Protectors are gas surge arresters designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment such as a power booster or repeater system from damage due to excess voltage for currents generated by transient phenomena (lightning or static build-up).
- N-Female Connectors
- Weather-proof
- Attenuation <0.2 dB
- Frequency range up to 3 GHz
- Replaceable gas discharge element
The life
of the Arc-Plug™ Cartridge is a function of the surge current
amplitude and duration to which the device is subjected. Transients
are by their very nature unpredictable in magnitude and energy
level. Life may be hundreds of operations, depending on surge
current wave shape.
After a sufficient
number of lighting pulses have been discharged through the
Cartridge, there is a gradual lowering of breakdown voltage and
insulation resistance. Therefore, cartridge replacement
is indicated by an increase in VSWR during transmitter tune-up,
or by a "dead" receiver caused by an extremely strong
near-miss lighting discharge shorting the cartridge.
In this case, the short continues to protect the equipment until
cleared.
Where
To Install
On a grounding
bus or point where the equipment to be protected is grounded and
as close to the equipment as practicable.
How
To Install
NOTE: To insure that the competed installation
is weather proof, it is imperative that the mating coaxial connectors
be sealed using proper materials and procedures.
