RE: Fw: [WISPA] Grounding questions/help

2005-08-02 Thread Dan Metcalf
 I replaced just the SBC (kn-205 board) and all is well for now, the radio
themselves are okay.

So I'm not sure that the current came in through the antenna, but rather some
how came across the cat5, connecting the tower ground to the AC ground (if
indeed they are separate grounds)

I will find out tomorrow and hopefully resolve the issue before I loose any more
equipment

Easy.  Your radio on the tower is toast.  It got clobbered
by the same lightning bolt that ate your POE box.  Lightning
doesn't always totally destroy what it hits.  Sometimes, only
sensitive parts of the circuitry gets zapped.  My guess is
something died in the radio which is causing the reboots.
It might also be something simple like the terminating end
of the POE circuit, but my guess is that radio is the problem
since it seems to sorta work until it reboots.


Is it also possible that not having the tower grounded to the AC is making 
this worse?

Use these on ethernet.  They ground all 8 pins, clamps voltage at 60v,
and provides bidirectional protection..  Never had one fail in 7
months.  I live in the state of Michigan.  2nd worse for lightning.  It
something protects here, it should protect anywhere else.

Unless all of your grounds are bonded together - You stand

this 1 tower (we are the only tenant) seems to have a problem 
each year

lightning season...

Last night it took a hit, although it appears it came through

not the tower, but I'm not sure, the UPS was off, I reset it 
and it came

each

(unless its

RE: [WISPA] Grounding questions/help

2005-08-02 Thread Jeff Mabry
Short - Straight - and on a single point ground system.  You want to become
one with the tower.  You do not want to make your equipment the least
resistant pathway to ground.

You might also request that additional (three (3) or more) 8 ft ground rods
be driven on 16 ft centers from existing rods and bond them together with #2
solid wire to each other and the existing rods.

We have used Tripp-Lite TLP810NETs in the past.  It provides surge
suppression for Ethernet and power.  Tripp-Lite DNET1's also are good for
Ethernet surge suppression.

I would also recommend if you are using shielded CAT5 to properly ground it
at the tower and before entry into the enclosure (similar to a coax
grounding kit).  

Keep the lightning on the outside.

Jeff

Re: [WISPA] Grounding questions/help

2005-08-02 Thread John Scrivner
Run one #6 solid copper ground wire between all ground rods and tie them 
all together. Make sure the electrical supply ground rod is bonded to 
this. I would also suggest that you run a  monitor test of the voltage 
at the location over time.

I have several towers, all of which except for 1 never have any issues, however,

Last night it took a hit, although it appears it came through the electrical and
not the tower, but I’m not sure, the UPS was off, I reset it and it came back
online --- but the POE injector did NOT, it was completely shot.

Replaced the POE unit and the wireless gear came online, but started rebooting
after about 15minutes (although it didn't this before, I just changed the POE
from a 12v to 15v) tried a 24v POE, and the radio was still rebooting... Called
the tower climber..

Anyways I looked over the ground and the tower appears to 3 ground rod off each
tower leg and then the building has a separate ground rod - (unless its
connected underground)

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Dan
