The schematic shows a 1 Meg resistor to ground and a gas discharge
device, SA1, SA2, SA3 on each antenna port. Also when the unit is not
powered, it defaults to ANT 1 in the Bypass mode.
Any lightning protection for your station should be accomplished outside
of the house BEFORE the feed lines enter the structure. Once inside,
it's too late.

Are the antenna ports on a KAT500 grounded when the unit is off?
And are the unused ports grounded when one is selected and in use?
I find no reference to this in the manual.
