5APPENDIX Ⅰ LIGHTNING PROOF AND SURGE
PROTECTION (Outdoors)
This series speed dome adopts TVS lighting protection technology. It can effectively prevent
damages from various pulse signals below 6000W, such as sudden lighting and surge. While
maintaining your local electrical safety code, you still need to take necessary precaution
measures when installing the speed dome in the outdoor environment.
The distance between the signal transmission cable and high-voltage device (or high-voltage
cable) shall be at least 50 meters.
Outdoor cable layout shall go under the penthouse if possible.
For vast land, please use sealing steel tube under the land to implement cable layout and
connects one point to the earth. Open floor cable layout is forbidden.
In area of strong thunderstorm hit or near high sensitive voltage (such as near high-voltage
transformer substation), you need to install additional high-power thunder protection device
or lightning rod.
The thunder protection and earth of the outdoor device and cable shall be considered in the
building whole thunder protection and conform to your local national or industry standard.
System shall adopt equal-potential wiring. The earth device shall meet anti-jamming and at
the same time conforms to your local electrical safety code. The earth device shall not short
circuit to N (neutral) line of high voltage power grid or mixed with other wires. When connect
the system to the earth alone, the earth resistance shall not be more than 4Ωand earth
cable cross-sectional area shall be no less than 25 mm². See Figure 5-1.
