power the Receiver. The internal battery can also operate as a UPS for up to

17 hours. A UPS protects the equipment from power surges and spikes, and

keeps the Receiver running during short power outages.

IGHTING AND SURGE PROTECTION

CHC recommends that you install lightning protection equipment at

permanent sites. All connections to the Receiver should have surge

protection. Typically, the minimum protection should include a surge

protector in the antenna feed line, on the Receiver's power supply system. If

serial devices are attached to the Receiver, those serial connections should

also be provided with surge protection. Also, protect any communications

and power lines at building entry points. If you use other antennas, such as a

radio modem that distributes real-time correction messages, install surge

protection on those antenna feeds as well.

No surge protection devices can offer protection unless they are connected

to an excellent ground using very low impedance conductors. Equipment

damage caused by electrical surges occurs in many permanent installations

even though surge protection is in place. Commonly, this is because the

grounding system used was designed to protect against AC electrical hazards

rather than to dissipate the sudden, high current surges caused by lightning.

Please consult with a lightning protection expert or research the topic when

planning permanent installations.

For more information, contact your local CHC dealer.

LACING THE ANTENNA

The antenna location will have a significant effect on the quality of your

X360 Receiver's performance. In temporary developments it may not

always be possible to set up on an ideal location with an excellent sky view.

However, when installing a permanent station, be sure to plan the antenna

location and mounting system carefully.

The general requirements for the antenna location and mount are:

 Keep the distance from the objects that may cause the multipath effects

(such as buildings, trees, reflective surface) for at least 200 m (656 feet)

 Clear sky above 10 degrees elevation
 Away from electromagnetism interference region (e.g. Microwave

station, radio transmitting station, high voltage wires) at least 200 m

(656 feet)

 Mounted 1.5 m (5 feet) above any nearby signal reflectors.
