®Coaxial Surge Protectors
1. Introduction
1.1 These installation instructions apply to Novaris RF coaxial
surge protectors with the following catalogue numbers:
Gas Tube Type
Cat No: Cx-yy-zz-f-o
x Connection type.
y Connector Gender, M=male, F=female.
z Maximum continious operating voltage.
f Maximum frequency, fc (GHz).
o Options.
1.2 Novaris Cx series gas discharge surge protectors are
capable of passing RF signals to 3 GHz (limited by
connector type.
1.3 Novaris CN 6G series gas discharge surge protectors are
capable of passing RF signals to 6GHz. They come with
CN type connectors only and have power ratings up to
125W maximum. Figure 1: RF Coaxial Cable Protectors Range
2. Before Installation
2.1 For Gas Tube Type:
Ensure that the maximum continious operating voltage
of the Novaris RF coaxial protector is suitable for the RF
power of the system:
Clamping voltage (V) RF power (W)
90 0 - 25
230 25 - 125
350 125 - 300
600 300 - 600
1000 600 - 1000
2.2 For dimensions, refer to the individual product data sheets
3. Installation
3.1 A Novaris RF coaxial surge protector should be installed at the
termination points on each end of the cable run.
The ideal installation comprises a bulkhead protector (e.g.
CN-FF-90-3) installed at the cable entry panel, ¿gure 2a,
if this is not possible, install a protector between the main
feeder and ÀH[LEOH tail, alternatively at the equipment antenna
receptacle, figure 2b.

Installation Instructions
®Coaxial Surge Protectors
The outer conductor of the coaxial cable must be bonded to
earth. This is best achieved by installing Novaris cable earth
bonding kits. Recommended connection points for cable
earth bonding kits are (Figure 6):
1. At the highest point of the vertical cable run to the tower
2. At the lowest point of the vertical cable run to the tower
3. At the entry point into the equipment hut to the cable entry
panel or equipment earth bar
3.2 All outdoor installations should be made weatherproof using
3.3 Optional mounting kits in Table 1.
butyl rubber, cold shrink, vinyl mastic tape or suitable
equivalent material over all connections and the protector
itself.

4. After Installation
4.1 The integrity of the installation should be veri¿ed by measuring
the return loss and/or VSWR of the completed cable run.
Novaris RF coaxial surge protectors are extremely robust.
Provided installation is performed correctly, Novaris
coaxial cable protectors are virtually maintenance free.

recommended.
A protector fault may be indicated by excessive VSWR
/ return loss, low resistance between the inner and outer
conductors or intermittent degradation of system operation.
