Mounting Instruction
Over Voltage Protector
BAT-ANT-Protector m-f
Safety instructions
Only qualified personnel are permitted to install the device in
accordance with the relevant national installation and safety rules. Its
usage is only permitted under the conditions stated and shown in this
instruction.
The data line protector and the equipment connected to it can be
destroyed by EM surges exceeding the given specification, e.g. due to
a direct lightning strike.
The operational voltage of the system/equipment to be protected must
not exceed the maximum permissible operating voltage (rated voltage)
of the data line protector.
Disconnect or switch off inline equipment when installing or removing
the protector.
Do not open the protector. Opening the data line protector will void the
warranty and may result in the accidental destruction of electronic
components.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FALLING
Avoid mounting the antenna near power lines.
When installing an antenna from a ladder or elevating equipment, take
precautions to avoid falling and ensure the equipment is securely positioned
on solid ground.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury,
or equipment damage.

General instructions
If exposed to extreme environmental conditions, especially icy conditions
or a polluted atmosphere, the connectors should be covered with a self-
vulcanizing tape or a cold shrink tube.
Disclaimer
All pertinent country, state, regional, and local safety regulations must be
observed when installing and using this product. For reasons of safety
and to help ensure compliance with documented system data, only the
manufacturer should perform repairs to components. This equipment
must only be installed and serviced by qualified personnel.
Device description
The BAT-ANT-Protector m-f is recommended for protecting the interior
electronics of BAT devices with outdoor antennas.
Despite outer over voltage protection measures, partial discharges can
still cause over voltages that can damage BAT devices. The BAT-ANT-
Protector m-f should be mounted as close as possible to the BAT device.
BAT-ANT-Protector m-f connectors
The BAT-ANT-Protector m-f provides two connectors, one for connecting
to the access point and one for connecting to the antenna (see fig. 1).
Figure 1: BAT-ANT-Protector m-f connectors
1 - N connector for connection to the antenna (unprotected area)
2 - N socket for connection to the access point (protected end marked in
red)
Connecting to the access point
To connect the BAT-ANT-Protector m-f to the access point proceed as
follows:
Connect one end of the adapter cable supplied with the antenna to the
N connector of the BAT-ANT-Protector m-f.
Connect the other end of the adapter cable to the antenna output of
the access point.

Note: Depending on the type, you can connect the BAT-ANT-Protector
m-f directly to the antenna output of the access point. In this case you do
not need an adapter cable.
Note: When mounting a BAT device outdoors, ensure that the screw
connections are waterproof, for instance by the use of teflon tape or self-
vulcanizing tape.
Connecting to the antenna
To connect the BAT-ANT-Protector m-f to the antenna proceed as
follows:
Connect one end of the antenna cable to the N socket of the BAT-
ANT-Protector m-f.
Connect the other end of the antenna cable to the antenna input.
Note: Depending on the connector type, you may require an adapter or
an adapter cable.
Note: When connecting the antenna, ensure that all connections to the
antenna are water-resistant screw connectors. If necessary, use for
instance teflon tape or self-vulcanizing tape.
Grounding the BAT-ANT-Protector m-f
Ground the BAT-ANT-Protector m-f appropriately according to all
national, state and local regulations to ensure that any overvoltages can
be conducted away from the device to the building‘s earthing system.
Fix a cable lug with a nut as shown in fig. 2.
Note: Use a sufficiently sized grounding cable (min. 16 mm2or 0.02 in2/
AWG 6) as short a distance as possible (max. 0.5 m or 19.69 in).
