To connect the LANCOM AirLancer Surge Protector to your WLAN system, follow these steps:

1. Connecting to the access point:
   - Connect the protected section of the SurgeProtect directly to the antenna connector of the access point.
   - If you are using a LANCOM indoor access point, you can use the Air Lancer AN-RPSMA-NJ adapter (available as an accessory) for the connection.
   - When mounting the access point outdoors, ensure that the  xxxx  connections are waterproof. You can use teﬂon tape or self-vulcanizing tape to provide a secure seal.

2. Connecting to the antenna:
   - Connect the end of the antenna cable to the N-jack of the AirLancer Surge Protect.
   - Connect the other end of the antenna cable to the antenna itself.
   - Depending on the type of connector, you may require an adapter or adapter cable.
   - Ensure that all connections to the antenna are water-resistant  xxxx  connectors. Use teﬂon tape or self-vulcanizing tape to provide a secure seal.

3. Grounding the AirLancer SurgeProtect:
   - The SurgeProtect must be grounded to conduct any overvoltages away to the building's earthing system.
   - Connect the earthing ring and cable lug supplied with the SurgeProtect to a suitable earth cable.
   - The grounding method depends on the installation:
     - For indoor access points, the potential load is equalized via the building's grounding line using a PE cable (protective-earth cable, min. 4 mm² Cu).
     - For outdoor access points, connect the ground of the access point and the ground of the SurgeProtect via the protective-earth cable (min. 6 mm² Cu) of the pole or antenna, such as through the antenna mounting clamps.
