How to Choose Your Accessories
The Andrew Installation Accessories
Selection Guide
Once youve selected the cable and connectors for your system, the
cable mounting and protection system must be planned. Andrew offers
a comprehensive line of installation accessories and lightning protection
systems to help you realize your communications systems full potential.
The Andrew Installation Accessories Helpful Assistant
gives you insights and tips on accessories and lightning
protection. These tips can help you select the best
equipment to meet your specific needs.
Hoisting Grips
Select a hoisting grip to safely raise the cable
and hold it during hanger attachment. In some
cases, a hoisting grip must also be used with
a calibrated clamp, available from Andrew,
to provide permanent support for the cable.
Hangers
The type or shape of the structure, the space
available for cable attachment, the type of
environment the system will be exposed to,
and the ease of installation or maintenance are
key considerations. Many hanger options are
available, and many variables have tradeoffs that
affect total hanger system cost. The table on page
11 will help you select the best hangers for your
system and budget.
Weatherproofing
Weatherproofing keeps connector interfaces
tight and adds an additional layer of protection
against the environment. Andrew offers three types
of weatherproofing. A standard weather-proofing
kit provides universal coverage and uses butyl and
vinyl tapes to wrap connector surfaces. Our 3M
Cold Shrink Weatherproofing Kit uses a self-
shrinking technology to reduce installation time.
New weatherproofing enclosures seal and protect
connectors for the environment in seconds.
Grounding Kits
A grounding kit diverts transient currents from
lightning off the transmission line to an earth
grounding system to prevent damage to cable
and radio equipment. A typical installation uses
three grounding kits: near the top of the main
feeder cable, at the bottom of the main feeder
prior to the horizontal run, and just prior to the
cable entering the building. Andrew offers three
kit types to meet the requirements of your system
and budget.
Surge Arrestors
Andrew Arrestor Plus
Surge Arrestors provide the

last stage of an effective lightning protection
system. Install them to divert lightning transients off
the inner conductor of your coaxial cable before
they reach your radio equipment. Select from a
variety of surge arrestors to meet your exact
requirements.
Cable Entry
The final step in a base station installation is to
bring the cable into the building or radio cabinet.
Two basic types of cable entry systems are
available: a standard building entry, and an
integrated system that combines cable entry and
lightning surge suppression into one efficient
system.

NEW! SnapStak Hangers
No more worries about fumbling with hardware
or losing small parts because there arent any!
New antenna systems can now be added to crowded multiple-tenant
towerswith minimal space! SnapStak snap-in hangers can be stacked
up to three deep when using 1/2" and 7/8" coaxial cable, or two
deep when using 1-1/4" and 1-5/8" coaxial cable. Each hanger
accommodates one run of HELIAX
cable.
The distinctive, self-contained design of the SnapStak stackable snap-in
hanger eliminates the need for mounting hardware and installation tools.
This simplifies coaxial cable installations, lowering both time and cost.
Retention tabs on the spring fork make
SnapStak hangers highly resistant to
pop-out, so installations are robust and
secure. Yet, specially designed to
dampen vibrations, SnapStak hangers
do not have a rigid hold on the tower,
so motion caused by wind is simply
absorbed. This reduces movement
down the coaxial cable, greatly
reducing stress on the connections at
the jumper cable, antenna, or device.
SnapStak hangers can be mounted directly to the
tower support system, or used in conjunction with a variety of mounting
accessories for rooftops, buildings and water towers. The SnapStak
hanger installs in 3/4" holes in support structures 1/8" (0.120" to
0.150") thick. The stainless steel construction of the SnapStak snap-in
hanger provides exceptional integrity, even in highly corrosive
environments and extreme weather conditions. Compact installations save
tower space. And maintenance is easy, since SnapStak stackable snap-in
hangers are self sufficient no hardware required for installation!
Mounts to pre-punched 3/4" (19 mm) holes. Kit of 10.
Use the support/hoisting grip whenever
possible. Rely on the standard, lace up hoisting
grip only when connectors are pre-attached or
you have to place a grip in the middle of a
cable run over 200 ft.

Standard Hangers and Hardware
Standard hangers are designed for easy installation. The clamp locking
bolt and nut are pre-assembled and captivated to minimize installation
labor. Proper tension is easy to determine. The hanger is simply tightened
until there is a 5/16" gap between the clamp legs. The pre-drilled hole
for 3/8" or 1/2" mounting hardware and slots for round member
adapter clamps further simplify installation. See pages 10 and 11 for
accessories to adapt these hangers to most tower configurations.

Weathertight Seal Quickly Installs in Three Minutes
Complete your transmission line installation with the premier
weatherproofing product to seal and protect connectors, splices, surge
protectors, and jumper-to-antenna interfaces from the environment. Andrew
3M Cold Shrink Weatherproofing protects your investment and your
systems performance.
No Tools Required
Cold Shrink Weatherproofing simply slips over the connection and
compresses around the interface. No tapes or heat guns are required
for sealing or shrinking. Simply place the Cold Shrink kit over the cable
and connector, make the connection, and unwind the pull-tab applicator.
Once it is collapsed, its continuous compression design forms a
watertight seal around the cable. Developed jointly by Andrew and
3M Corporation, Cold Shrink
Weatherproofing has proven itself in
thousands of high power cable
installations for more than 15 years.
Fits up to 2-1/4" HELIAX
Cable
Kits are available for transitions
from larger to smaller diameter
cable, such as 1-5/8" to 1/2", or
for same diameter cable, such as
1/2" to 1/2". See the table for part

Standard Weatherproofing Kit
for Connectors and Antennas
The application of sealing
materials to antenna cable
connections protects them
from weather conditions.
These include moisture
penetration and loosening
of connections from
vibrations caused by strong
winds. Andrew Corporation
recommends weatherproofing these connections with standard
weatherproofing tapes such as butyl and plastic electrical tapes.
Main feeder cable-to-jumper cable connection
Jumper cable-to-antenna connection
This kit provides an additional moisture seal for cable connections.
It also prevents loosening of connections from vibration or other external
stresses, which would eventually allow moisture penetration. The sealed
connection is suitable for typical exposed and buried cable applications.
ArrestorPort II
Integrated Transmission Line
Entry/Ground System
The ArrestorPort II integrated building
entry/ground system redefines the way you
achieve cable shelter entry and grounding. Traditional installations rely on
a piecemeal approach that steals time and increases costs. ArrestorPort II
unifies the installation of entry ports, Arrestor Plus
surge protectors, and

transmission line grounding into an integrated entry/ground system.
Arrestor Plus surge arrestors cut costs, save valuable interior space, and
protect your revenues and personnel from the damaging effects of
lightning strikes.
ArrestorPort II Integrated Wall Entry/Grounding System Kit consists of
an entry panel and a 1/8" solid copper ground bar assembly with
assembly hardware, weather stripping, and weatherproof sealing caps
for all entry ports. Use with Arrestor Plus surge arrestors (page 26, order
separately) and standard cable boots (page 14, order separately).
Installers should become thoroughly familiar with and use the installation
tips given here.
Installation Tips
When applied, the tape must be above 32F (0C) to ensure
adhesion. Keep tape warm by carrying in coat pockets.
Do not stretch the tape. Apply only enough tension to provide
a smooth wrap.
Smooth each wrapped layer with your hands to ensure
full adhesion.
Do not pull the tape to tear tape always cut it.
(Pulled tape eventually unravels, decreasing protection.)
Add extra final layers of tape in warmer climates where there
will be long exposure to damaging ultra violet (UV) rays. Two
or three extra layers of tape will provide additional UV protection.
When wrapping tape, overlap the tape to half-width.
Ensure vent or drain holes at the bottom of the antenna
or device are not covered with weatherproofing tape.

2 Cable Prep Tools

Improve system performance and cut installation
time with specialized EASIAX 2
Cable Prep Tools. Wireless
installation specialists require
tools that provide precision and
consistency when attaching connectors.
The tools provide a clean cut of the
coaxial cable and eliminate copper

Plus Automated Cable Prep Tool

For Reliable Cable Preparation in 10 Seconds
Cable installers and system designers can
dramatically reduce cable preparation time
and expense while improving overall system
performance with the EASIAX Plus Automated
Cable Preparation Tool. Fit the EASIAX Plus
Tool to any standard power drill,
and it removes the cable jacket, outer
conductor, and foam, then cuts back
and chamfers the inner conductor to
the correct dimensions for connector
attachment all in less than 15 seconds.
The EASIAX Plus automated method of cable
preparation means cable connections that are more consistent,
more reliable, and more repeatable.
Better Connections Yield
Superior System Performance
The connector interface is one of the most critical factors affecting
transmission line operation. Even experienced technicians find the job
more difficult when equipped with makeshift devices or an inadequate
array of simple hand tools, and it only takes a single faulty connection to
degrade performance and threaten your operations revenues.

Crimping Tool
Used to attach crimp-on lugs for standard
and SureGround series. Not required
for kits having factory-attached lugs.
Connector Attachment Torque Wrenches
Preset to Andrew Specifications
Andrew Torque Wrenches attach any type of HELIAX
connectors to HELIAX LDF4.5, LDF5, LDF6, LDF7, and

LDF12 coaxial cables. All are designed with a mechanism
to audibly notify the installer that the proper torque has
been reached and release the pressure.
Aluminum Grounding Kit Tool
Now installers can prepare transmission line cable for
grounding kit installation in one simple, precise step
and without using a knife! The Andrew Aluminum
Grounding Kit Prep Tool takes just seconds to use:
simply snap the tool in place around the cable and
rotate. In one step the tool removes the exact
amount of jacketing necessary to attach the
grounding strap. The Grounding Kit Prep Tool is a
manually operated cutting device that quickly trims
away a section of cable jacket for the purpose of
grounding strap installation. The tool is ideal for use
on cables mounted close to structures and other
cable runs, and will not scrape or damage the
cables outer conductor.
Cable Reconditioning and
Foam Separating Tools
These tools perform two tasks in one operation: (1)
recondition the cut edge of the outer conductor to its
original shape and dimension and (2) separate the
foam from the outer conductor. This operation forms the
cable end for precise entry into a one-piece connector
and proper attachment. All of the tools except FST-158 have an inner
conductor guide pin on both sides of the tool, one for each cable type.
The larger pin is for LDF cable and the smaller pin is for VXL cable.

Versatile Grounding Lug
Transmission Line Grounding
A well designed system uses grounding kits to provide a bond between
the cable and the tower/earth ground system. One grounding kit is
recommended at tower top, tower bottom, at 200 ft (60 m) intervals (where
applicable), and at the entrance to the equipment shelter. Andrew solid
copper grounding kits have passed United States Air Force lightning
simulation tests and meet MIL-STD-188-124A. The non-braided solid copper
construction of all Andrew grounding kits eliminates corrosion caused by
moisture retention and wicking. A heat shrink tube protects the cable
terminal connection.
Crimping Tool for SureGround
and Standard Grounding
The crimping tool is used to attach crimp-on lugs for standard and
SureGround series grounding kits. Not required for kits with factory
attached lugs.

Standard Grounding Kits are traditional solutions
for lightning protection and are also well suited
for elliptical waveguide installations. One
grounding kit is recommended at the tower
top, tower bottom, at 200 ft (60 m) intervals,
and at the entrance to the equipment shelter.
Standard Grounding Kits (204989 and
241088 series) require few steps to install and
include easy-to-follow instructions. Proper tensioning
is ensured by an expansion section that provides visual indication
that the strap is secured.

Quarterwave Stub Surge Arrestors
Considerations and Selection
Quarterwave Stub (QWS) Surge Arrestor Technology
An understanding of the key concepts of quarterwave stub technology and
its relationship to lightning transients can be of great benefit to transmission
line system designers and operators. With this understanding, system
designers and operators can more fully utilize lightning protection systems
that use QWS technology as well as understand the critical role multistrike
ability plays in lightning protection systems.
Arrestor Plus
T-Series Surge Arrestors from Andrew Corporation employ

quarterwave stub (QWS) technology, a unique design that allows
microwave signals to pass unattenuated while shunting the lower
frequencies associated with lightning-induced transients to ground. This
proven QWS technology is utilized in APT Arrestor Plus
Surge Arrestors.
To understand QWS technology, one needs to understand lightning.
The lightning transient is characterized by a current waveform with an
8-microsecond rise time (time to reach 90% of the peak value) and
a 20-microsecond decay time (time to decay to 50% of the peak value).
Peak currents can reach excessive values, but 50% of all strikes will reach
values of only 18 kA. It is important to remember that this is only
a laboratory characterization of the lightning transient, but it facilitates
standardized testing techniques for the industry. Figure 1 depicts an actual
laboratory-generated 8/20 sec waveform that was used to evaluate
Andrew Surge Arrestors. For more detailed information regarding
laboratory generated surge waveforms, see IEC 60-2,
ANSI-IEEE Std 4-1978, and ANSI C62.1-1984.
The substantial energy associated with lightning transients has frequency
components near dc with components of decreasing value of energy
extending through 160 kHz.
The effectiveness of surge arrestors is characterized by the throughput
energy and the ability to withstand multiple surges. These characteristics
are readily measurable in a laboratory equipped with the appropriate test
equipment. Throughput energy is a measure of the amount of energy
passed through the output of the device when the input of the device is
subjected to a lightning transient waveform. The throughput energy can
be calculated from the residual voltage waveform using the relationship:
Figure 2 shows the residual output voltage present when an APT Series
Surge Arrestor was subjected to an actual 8/20 sec waveform with a
peak current of 20 kA. In this case, the residual voltage was recorded
across a 50 ohm load. The resulting throughput energy was 72
microjoules. The objective of the surge arrestor is to minimize the
throughput energy to a manageable level. Most microwave transmitters
and receivers used in todays wireless systems are capable of
withstanding throughput energy levels of 10 millijoules or less.
The ability to withstand multiple strikes is also an important measure
of surge arrestor merit. Multistrike ability is measured by subjecting the
QWS surge arrestors to repeated surges and observing if the arrestors
continue to properly function or show signs of degradation. No evidence
of failure or degradation was observed after subjecting the Andrew
Arrestor Plus
Surge Arrestors to over 100 strikes at 50 kA peak current

using an 8/20 sec waveform. This level of reliability is essential
in protecting todays telecommunications systems from the potential
of damaging lightning transients.
Arrestor Plus QWS Surge Arrestors are carefully designed and tested
to provide a low impedance path to ground for any lightning induced
transient energy present on the center conductor of the transmission line.
These surge arrestors are designed to withstand multiple strikes of the most
severe surges. The unique attributes of QWS surge arrestors are made
possible by careful design and selection of the geometry and
cross-sectional area of the conductors that make up the shorting stub.
QWS designs result in extremely low throughput energy devices with
true multistrike ability.
When selecting a surge arrestor, the RF performance must be considered.
Characteristics that describe RF performance are operating bandwidth,
VSWR (return loss), insertion loss, maximum average power, and passive
intermodulation distortion.
The operating bandwidth of quarterwave shorted stubs is limited,
but Andrew Arrestor Plus QWS Surge Arrestors are designed to
accommodate the operating bandwidth requirements of todays wireless
telecommunications systems. Quarterwave shorted stubs can be designed
to accommodate up to 20% bandwidth. The bandwidth characteristics of
the surge arrestors is similar to that of a bandpass filter: RF signals at the
center of the band pass unattenuated, while out-of-band signals (such as
lightning transients) are diverted harmlessly to ground.
Appendix 1
appendixes
Appendix 1
Figure 3 shows the measured wideband S11 (return loss) of a QWS
surge arrestor. Note that in the band of interest, the S11 levels are
typically -30 dB.
It is key to note that dc signals cannot be passed through the device.
When dc passing is required, as is often the case for tower top active
electronics, then it is strongly recommended to use Andrew APG Gas
Tube Series Surge Arrestors. For more information on APG Gas Tube
Series Arrestors, see Appendix 2.
The lowest center frequency of operation is limited to approximately
400 MHz, while the highest center frequency is limited by the cutoff
frequency of the coaxial cable being used. Figure 4 shows a cross-
sectional view of a QWS Surge Arrestor. The lower operating frequency
is limited due to the physical size of the shorting stub. When the shorting
stub reaches too long of a physical length, the stub appears as an
inductive load, resulting in excessive residual voltages. Quarterwave
shorted stubs can be designed to accommodate systems operating as
high as 12 GHz.
In the operating bandwidth of the Arrestor Plus
QWS Surge Arrestors,

the RF performance characteristics are optimal. At the operating
frequencies of the Arrestor Plus, the insertion loss is less than 0.1 dB,
no more than adding a connector to the transmission line path. Figure 5
shows the measured S21 (insertion loss) performance of an APM type
QWS surge arrestor. Note that in the band of interest, the S21 levels are
better than -0.05 dB.
The maximum average operating power of the Arrestor Plus QWS
Surge Arrestor is limited by the connector interface. The suggested
maximum average operating power for type N connectors is 600 watts
at 900 MHz. The suggested maximum average operating power for
7-16 DIN connectors is 3000 watts at 900 MHz. Exceeding these
values can result in excessive temperature rise and permanent damage to
the device. For more information regarding connector power rating,
see Andrew Catalog 38.
Intermodulation distortion (IMD) is a major concern in today's PCS,
cellular, ESMR, and other wireless systems. IMD is caused by nonlinear
effects within a device. For connectors, these nonlinear effects can be
caused by poor contact between internal surfaces, plating with ferrous
materials, such as nickel, or by oxide build up between contact surfaces.
Arrestor Plus
Surge Arrestors are designed with high pressure

contacts, premium platings, and are compensated to offer the best
possible IMD performance.
The functionality of Arrestor Plus QWS Surge Arrestors can be readily
evaluated by using ordinary RF field test equipment. If there is no
degradation of the VSWR or insertion loss of the arrestor, then the surge
arrestor is reassuringly functioning as a transient lightning protection
device. VSWR and insertion loss measurements can be made by using
vector or scalar network analyzers as well as a variety of other readily
available field test equipment. No other maintenance is required. As
obvious as it may seem, surge arrestors should never be installed
or tested when a storm is occurring or approaching.
System requirements often dictate outdoor installation of surge arrestors.
Arrestor Plus Surge Arrestors are ideal for these applications and designed
to withstand the harshest environments and are extensively tested to meet
industry standard specifications for waterproofing, vibration, thermal
cycling, mechanical shock, salt spray, fungus, and moisture resistance.
QWS Surge Arrestors are excellent choices for wireless base station
applications where superior RF performance is required to ensure
call quality and when protection against multiple lightning strikes
is of primary importance.

Gas Discharge Tube Protectors Considerations
and Selection
Gas Tube Surge Arrestor Technology
To simplify selecting the appropriate gas tube for your system plots,
maximum average power vs. VSWR have been compiled. Figures 1 and
2 show plots of maximum average power vs. VSWR for 90 and 350 volt
gas tubes. Each graph shows different values of commonly used dc bias
voltages. These graphs were established from extensive laboratory testing
and include the appropriate safety factors to ensure proper gas tube
selection. Using these graphs for selecting a gas tube will optimize the
level of protection required for your system.
Gas tube elements are offered in various spark-over voltages. Andrew
Corporation simplifies the selection process by limiting the users choice to
two options, 90 volt for GPS applications and 350 volt for many other
wireless applications requiring a dc bias. Plots of maximum average
power vs. VSWR have been compiled for the 90 and 350 volt gas tubes
from extensive laboratory testing and have built-in safety factors to ensure
proper selection. See figures 3 and 4. Each graph shows several different
values of commonly used dc bias voltages. Using these graphs for
selecting a gas tube will optimize the level of protection required for your
system.
When working in todays environment of diplexed signals, overlaid
networks, tower mounted amplifiers, and multiple carriers, it is necessary
to verify that a systems maximum average power does not exceed that
rating for the gas tube. The following example illustrates the process of
using the voltage derating curves that follow.
2. Calculate the peak instantaneous voltage of a two,
+42dBm carrier, 50 ohm based system
Peak instantaneous voltage (volts): =
V peak per carrier (volts) number of carriers (N)
Peak instantaneous voltage (volts) = 80
Therefore, the peak instantaneous voltage of a two
+42dBm carriers is 80 volts.
3. Calculate the peak instantaneous power of two,
+42dBm carrier, 50 ohm based system
Peak instantaneous power (watts): =
(Peak instantaneous voltage (volts))
2
Impedance (ohms)
Peak instantaneous power (watts) = 128
Peak instantaneous power (dBm): =
Peak instantaneous power (watts)
0.001
Peak instantaneous power (dBm) = 51.072

Therefore, the peak instantaneous power of two,
+42dBm carriers is 128 watts (+51dBm).
10log
4. The gas tube selection curves are specified as Maximum
Average Power vs. VSWR. Therefore, it is required to
calculate an estimate of the average (RMS) power from the
peak instantaneous power. A reasonable calculation of this
estimate is shown below:
Peak instantaneous voltage (volts) = 80
RMS equivalent (volts):=
Peak instantaneous voltage (volts)
2
RMS equivalent (volts)= 56.569
RMS equal power (watts): =
(RMS equivalent (volts))
2
Impedance (ohms)
RMS equal power (watts) = 64
Therefore, to utilize the gas tube selection curves, an
approximate value of 64 watts average power would provide
a reasonable estimate.
Note that for this calculation, the dc bias voltage was not
specified and the VSWR was not specified. The gas tube
selection curves provide a derating for both the VSWR and
dc bias voltage.

Appendix 2
1. Calculate the peak instantaneous voltage of a single
+42dBm carrier for a 50 ohm based system
V rms per carrier (volts): =
average power per carrier (watts) Impedance (ohms)
V rms per carrier (volts) = 28.284
V peak per carrier (volts) : = 2V rms per carrier (volts)
V peak per carrier (volts) = 40
Therefore, the peak instantaneous voltage of a single
+42dBm carrier is 40 volts.

Gas Tube Surge Arrestors allow field replacement

of gas tube elements. Gas tubes can be replaced by simply removing the
nut and replacing the element. A gas tube element may not always show
outward signs of failure or degradation, therefore, routine maintenance
and inspection is suggested. If the number of storms in an area is high,
gas tube elements should be replaced more frequently. Gas tube
degradation is dependent on the number as well as the intensity of the
lightning strikes. As obvious as it may seem, gas tube elements should
never be replaced when a storm is occurring or approaching.
When selecting a surge arrestor, the RF performance must be considered.
Characteristics that describe RF performance are operating bandwidth,
VSWR (return loss), insertion loss, and maximum average power.
Arrestor Plus Gas Tube Arrestors offer the widest bandwidth available of
any gas tube surge arrestors on the market. Unlike quarter wave stub
arrestors, Andrew APG Gas Tube Arrestors can be used for applications
under 400 MHz. A single unit can be used for broadband applications
over the full frequency range of 0 2000 MHz. Figure 5 shows the
measured wideband S11 return loss plot of a gas tube surge arrestor.
Note that in the commonly used 800 960 MHz and 1700 2000
MHz bands, the S11 levels are typically better than 30 dB.
Over the operating frequencies of the Arrestor Plus, the insertion loss is
less than 0.1 dB, no more than adding a connector to the transmission
line path. Figure 6 shows the measured S21 (insertion loss) performance
for a typical APG family arrestor. Note that in the commonly used
800-960 MHz and 1700-2000 MHz bands, the S21 levels are
typically 0.05 dB and 0.12 dB, respectively.

Appendix 2
Unlike QWS arrestors, a gas tube arrestor can pass dc current along the
center conductor, as is often required for todays wireless communication
systems incorporating tower top active electronics.
VSWR and insertion loss measurement of APG Gas Tube Surge Arrestors
can be made by using vector or scalar network analyzers as well as
a variety of other readily available types of field test equipment. The
arrestors are dc passing broadband devices and can therefore be
used with time domain reflect meters or fault location equipment.
System requirements often dictate that surge arrestors will be installed
outdoors. The Arrestor Plus APG Series Surge Arrestors from Andrew
are ideal for these applications and are designed to withstand the
harshest environment. They are extensively tested to meet industry
standard specifications for waterproofing, vibration, thermal cycling,
mechanical shock, salt spray, fungus, and moisture resistance.
Andrew Arrestor Plus gas tube surge arrestors are an excellent choice
for broadband frequency applications or when a dc bias is required
for providing power to tower top devices. Please visit our website at
www.andrew.com for product data sheets and electronic copies of
this appendix.
Appendix 3
dc Passing T-Series Arrestors
, dc Passing Surge Arrestors (US Patent Pending) are

true broadband RF devices that are capable of allowing a
dc bias to pass along the center while shorting the lower frequencies
associated with lightning induced transients to the outer conductor and
to earth ground. By removing the gas tube from the RF path, they allow
dc voltage to pass and greatly enhance power handling capability.
Arrestor Plus
, dc Passing, Wideband Surge Arrestors are the same

general shape and size as a typical quarterwave surge arrestors. The
arrestor is comprised of two coaxial connector interfaces joined by a
center conductor passing through a coaxial arrestor body. A shorting stub
connects to the center conductor on an axis perpendicular to the center
conductor through a port in the arrestor body. A gas discharge tube sits
directly on top of the RF shorting stub, under constant pressure applied by
the gas tube spring clip. The shorting stub, RF shorting stub, gas tube and
gas tube spring clip are sealed inside of the shorting stub sleeve and
arrestor body by compressing an o-ring between the screw-in gas cap
and the shorting stub sleeve.
The function of the various elements in the dc passing T-series surge
arrestor described above are best understood if modeled as a simple
electronic circuit as shown in figure 2, below.
Figure 2
Electronic Circuit Diagram of dc Passing Wideband Surge Arrestor
The two coaxial connector interfaces, ports P1 and P2, provide coupling
to coaxial cables that run between the output of the radio equipment and
the surge arrestor and the surge arrestor and the antenna. This cable is
indicated as having a nominal impedance (Zo) of 50. The center
conductor sections that are between the coaxial connector interfaces and
the shorting stub are modeled as transmission lines TL1 and TL2. The
shorting stub is modeled as an inductor (L1) that connects to the center
conductor between TL1 and TL2. The outer surface of the RF Shorting
Stub is coated with a dielectric material to create a series capacitance
(C1) between the end of the helical shorting stub and the shorting stub
sleeve, which is a ground (G1). A gas discharge tube with capacitance
(C2) sits in parallel with capacitor C1 and ground (G2). The inductance,
L1, of the helical shorting stub and the effective capacitance of parallel
capacitors C1 and C2 tune the surge arrestor giving it a broadband
frequency response.
Under normal operating conditions, the RF signal will pass straight from
P1 to P2 since the inductor, L1, appears as an open circuit. When a dc
bias voltage is applied at either P1 or P2, it will also pass straight
through the device. The dc bias voltage is prevented from shorting to
either earth grounds, G1 or G2, by capacitors, C1 and C2, because
these capacitors appear as open circuits to low current dc bias voltages
typically applied to power tower mounted amplifiers or active antennas.
The gas in the gas discharge tube will ionize under lightning strikes or
other high voltage conditions allowing the transient to go from the center
conductor to the outer conductor or ground (G2). For purposes of
effective grounding, the surge arrestor can either be mounted to ground
through a bulkhead interface or by mounting the surge arrestor to a
copper grounding bus bar via threaded mounting hardware that is
provided with the surge arrestor or ordered separately.

Definitions/Comments
Isokeraunic Level: The isokeraunic level is a measure of the number of
thunderstorm days per year. A thunderstorm day is defined as a day on
which thunder is heard. For example, the city of Chicago averages 41
thunderstorm days per year. The isokeraunic level is expressed as:
T
y
= Isokeraunic Levels
Total Flash Density: The total flash density is a measure of the number of
flashes per year per square kilometer. For example, the city of Chicago
averages 33 flashes per year per square kilometer. Total flash density
includes intracloud flashes, intercloud flashes and cloud-to-ground flashes.
Total flash density can be expressed as DT . The expression for total flash
density is an empirically determined value based on many years of
observation and can be approximated as follows:
D
T
0.02 x T
y
2
Ground Flash Density: The ground flash density is a measure of the
number of flashes that reach the ground (as opposed to intercloud and
intracloud type flashes). Flashes that reach the ground are the ones that
are threatening to us. For example, the city of Chicago averages 9.9
ground flashes per year per square kilometer. The expression for ground
flash density is an empirically determined value based on many years of
observation and can be expressed as follows:
D
Ground Flash
= P
fraction
x D
T
is the fraction of total flashes that reach the ground. The value is related to
the latitude as expressed in the following equation:
P

Area of Attraction of a Structure: A structure has a defined attraction
area that is strongly dependent on the height and less dependent on its
width and length. For a structure of height H, length L, and width W, the
area of attraction (sometimes referred to as area of collection) can be
estimated by using the following equation. All units are in meters. Note
that if the structure has a small length or small width as compared to the
height, such as a communications tower or pole, then the equation is
dominated by the height.
Area
C
= L W = 4.4 H (L + W) + (2.2 H)

Average Number of Strikes per Year to a Tower: The average number of
strikes per year for an arbitrary tower of height H, length L and width W,
can be estimated by multiplying the Area of Attraction, AreaC, by the
Ground Flash Density, D Ground Flash. Since the Area of Attraction, is expressed in
square meters and the Ground Flash Density is expressed in square
kilometers, a factor of 10
-6
must be included.

Strikes per Year, 50 foot tower: As an example, a 50-foot tower in
the Chicago area will average 0.040 strikes per year (or this can be
interpreted as 1 strike every 24.6 years). The calculations were based
on a 50-foot (15.24 meters) height, 3.5-meter width, 3.5-meter length,
latitude of 42 degrees, and an isokeraunic level of 41 thunderstorm
days per year.
Strikes per Year, 100 foot tower: As an example, a 100-foot tower
in the Chicago area will average 0.153 strikes per year (or this can
be interpreted as 1 strike every 6.5 years). The calculations were based
days per year.
Strikes per Year, 200 foot tower: As an example, a 200-foot tower
in the Chicago area will average 0.591 strikes per year (or this can be
interpreted as 1 strike every 1.7 years). The calculations were based
days per year.
It is important to remember that these are statistical calculations based on
many years of observation. When lightning strikes within even a few
kilometers of the tower, damaging transients can be coupled and carried
on any transmission lines, data lines, and power lines in the vicinity and
cause damaging effects within the area of the tower.

Definitions and Assumptions 1. Per EIA-222 Standard: Coefficient of drag for coaxial cable is 1.2 (cylindrical members). Ice forms completely around member (360 degrees).
Combined wind and ice loading is reduced by 25% to reflect lower probability of wind and ice occurring simultaneously. 2. Wind speeds are maximum, which includes gust factors
and exposure factors.
Cable Hanger Spacing
Revision: February 2005; added elliptical waveguide hangers
Recommended maximum hanger spacings are tabulated below for
various wind speed and ice conditions. The recommendations are based
on guidelines stated in EIA Standard RS-222 and new wind tunnel and
vibration tests. They are current as of January 2003 and supersede those
in previous Andrew catalogs. Please refer to Andrew publication number
10883 available at www.andrew.com for the most current
recommendations.
Standard Hangers - Maximum Hanger Spacing
(Note: Standard tower configuration spacing is 3 to 4 ft)
These spacing recommendations assume that all hangers are properly
installed and tightened.
Installations in Typical Climates. Use the 125 mph (200 km/h), 1/2"
ice conditions, highlighted in red in the table.
Severe or Mild Climates. Use the wind speed and ice conditions that
most closely approximate the expected worst case conditions for the
local climate.

* These hanger spacings have been specified based on using the Click-On Hangers with Andrew specified hardware kits. Definitions and Assumptions 1. Per EIA-222 Standard:
Coefficient of drag for coaxial cable is 1.2 (cylindrical members). Ice forms completely around member (360 degrees). Combined wind and ice loading is reduced by 25% to reflect
lower probability of wind and ice occurring simultaneously. 2. Wind speeds are maximum, which includes gust factors and exposure factors.

Definitions and Assumptions
1. Per EIA-222 Standard:
Coefficient of drag for elliptical waveguide is 1.6 (average of 1.2 for cylindrical and 2.0 for flat members).
Ice forms completely around member (360 degrees).
Combined wind and ice loading is reduced by 25% to reflect lower probability of wind and ice occuring simultaneously.
2. Wind speeds are maximum, which includes gust factors and exposure factors.
Hanger Spacing
for HELIAX
Elliptical Waveguide
Recommended maximum hanger spacings are tabulated below for various
wind speed and ice conditions. The recommendations are based on
guidelines stated in EIA Standard RS-222 and new wind tunnel and
vibration tests. They supersede those in previous Andrew catalogs.
Installations in Typical Climates. Use the 125 mph (200 km/h), 1/2" ice
conditions, highlighted in red in the table.
Severe or Mild Climates. Use the wind speed and ice conditions that most
closely approximate the expected worst case conditions for the local climate.
