Lightning Surge Protector/ In-Line Arrester 50 Ohm (SureCall SC-LP)

SureCall Surge Protector (50 Ohm). SureCall SCLP/ SCLP50 lightning surge protector/ in-line arrester can be used within any 50 Ohm signal booster system. This lightning arrestor for outside antenna is designed to protect against lightning surges. It is installed between your external antenna and amplifier, but is not directly connected to either. SureCall's coaxial lightning arrestors act as a signal filter and are designed to pass desired frequencies while suppressing lightning surges. Lightning strike electrical surges are diverted through the protector’s short-circuit to the ground. SC-LP features N-Female connectors on both ends. In the event that lightning strikes your outdoor antenna, or a large power surge occurs, the device will release a gas discharge element to break the connection. The gas element can be replaced if and when this does happen. A short amount of additional coax cable is required for the installation, and the lightning protector must be grounded to be effective. If you're thinking about installing your kit in an area mostly afflicted by lightning, get a working lightning surge protector. Sure Call SC LP 50 can to be installed in line and can be grounded. Sure-Call SC-LP/ CM-LP or SC-LP-50/ CM-LP-50 is SureCall lightening protector that includes a gas discharge replacement element and a lifetime warranty. You only need to have the protector inserted to the outer cable for the antenna. You may need a two feet jumper cable (SC001-02) to use to connect in-line, once it has been grounded or N-male to N-male connector (SC-CN-12) in order to connect antenna pigtail cable with connector to the surge protector. The amplifier and the cable can then be connected on the outside port for the antenna. SC-LP consists of a N-Female to N-Female connector for 50 Ohm cable systems. This unit goes between outdoor 50 Ohm antenna, and the cable that comes inside the house. It helps only if lightning strikes antenna which is most likely because it juts out the most from most building structures. This surge protector and a grounded wire from it will both minimize damage by blocking and/or deflecting the lightning surge into the ground soil via grounding cable. Connect the lightning protector to your outside antenna and use the coax cable going down to the booster. You will need 10-12G wire in order to ground the protector. The 10-12 gauge wire (see preceding link to grounding cable) is connected on the lighting protector to a grounding plate or anything metal like metallic water pipe that can help ground it.
