What is a proper ground?
This antenna must be grounded to a proper earth ground. According to the
National Electrical Code Sections 810-15s and 810-21, the grounding conductor
shall be connected to the nearest accessible locations of the following:
• The building or structure grounding electrode
• The grounded interior metal water piping system
• The power service accessible means external to enclosure
• The metallic power service raceway
• The service equipment enclosure
• The grounding electrode conductor
Why is coiling the LMR or Cat 5 bad?
The myth is that lighting follows the path of least resistance. It actually follows the
path of least impedance. Coiling cables creates an air-wound transformer, which
lowers the impedance. This means you are in fact making your radios a more
appealing target for surges.
What standard does Tranzeo Wireless equipment meet?
This radio exceeds International Standard IEC 61000-4-5 when properly
grounded. For a copy of the full testing report, see Report Number TRL090904 -
Tranzeo Surge Protection board located on the Tranzeo website
(www.tranzeo.com).
Is lightning damage covered by the warranty?
No. Lightning is not covered by the warranty. If you follow the instructions, your
chances of lightning damage are greatly reduced, but nothing can protect a radio
from a direct lightning strike.
