The typical antenna system comprises devices and components formed from steel and copper; materials highly attractive to lightning strike and induced lightning transients. No one can guarantee that lightning will NOT affect your system. However, should lightning strike its effects can be minimised.
In such circumstances CTS provide enhanced lightning protection for antenna system.
Lightning protection takes the form of Lightning Spikes for structures connected to the Lightning Field; and Lightning Surge Arresters which are incorporated into the EMC Cabinet for compliance with EEC Directive: EMC 89/336/EEC and BS EN 50083-1 (1994) Earthing Requirements.
The Lightning Spike will protect where direct lightning strike is a hazard, and the Lightning Surge Arrester will protect cables from induced lightning transients.
The Lightning Surge Arrester is a CTS proprietary device, and is unique within the TV industry. The design of the device was driven by CTS when a need to protect coaxial cables from induced lightning transients was identified.
The CTS Lightning Surge Arrester is a unique in-line solution allowing the LNB Power Supply to flow along the coaxial cable (thus negating additional power supply circuitry) and yet blocking the induced lightning transient which is switched across the Building Lightning Field.
Our Customers invest a great deal in their Antennae Systems; and these Lightning Protection Systems protect that investment.
Downtime is a cost and an inconvenience that many of our customer can ill afford. The primary aim of these systems is Equipment Protection and Downtime Prevention.
