Installations with Unstable Power Inputs
There are cases where the device has to be wired to the same power
source as other equipment. In such cases if equipment such as motors
that are connected in the circuit draw a large amount of current during
operation, the transient voltage drop could potentially cause the AWK to
become unstable. Installing a DC/DC power isolator in between the two
equipment is recommended to isolate the transient effect and to ensure a
stable power input for the AWK.
Installations with Cable Extended Antennas for Outdoor
Applications
If the antenna or the AWK device is installed outdoors or in an open-air
setting, proper lightning protection is required to prevent direct lightning
strikes on the AWK device. In order to prevent coupling currents from
nearby lightning strikes, a lightning arrester should be installed as part of
your antenna system. Ground the device, antenna, as well as the arrester
properly to provide maximum outdoor protection for the device.
