How can I help prevent my Omnia equipment from power surge or lightning damage?
Protect your equipment from damage by employing surge suppression and proper grounding techniques, especially if the unit is located at a transmitter site. Modern digital equipment must be treated similarly to a computer regarding installation where there may be power surges or nearby lightning strikes. Below is a link to a paper by one of our support engineers detailing proper grounding and containing links to some surge suppression products for both the power mains and the often neglected telephone and ISDN line connections that can (and do) conduct powerful surges into the equipment. http://www.telos-systems.com/techtalk/surge.
