- Mount an Ethernet surge protector with an appropriate outdoor rated housing to the weather station mount, as close as possible to the ISS Transmitter Compartment.
- Connect the Ethernet surge protector to ground. Note: failure to use or properly ground the surge protector will void the warranty.
- Connect an Ethernet cable from the X-422 to the Ethernet surge protector.
- Connect an Ethernet cable from the network or POE switch to the Ethernet surge protector.
- If using shielded network cable, connect only one end of the shield to ground.
