I'm in the Amazon and we have very intense lightning. We've never had a direct strike but we get very very close nearby strikes which induce high voltages into anything that can act like an antenna. We're running PS2's, NSM5's and a BulletM2. We lost some gear connected to the PS2's (though never a PS2 itself) before I isolated the PS2's from their mounts. The PS2's electronics have continuity to the mounting bracket. The gear was on a metal mount on a metal roof of a wooden house (roof not grounded) and the PS2 and it's associated ethernet cable were acting like a drain for the roof, zapping what was on the other end when ever lightning induced high voltage in the roof. Now I keep the PS2's isolated from their mount (with a piece of plastic tubing between the mount and PS2's bracket) and I have ethernet lightning protection at the POE end.
The NS5M's and the Bullet have been no problem. Greg On Jul 14, 2010, at 8:30 PM, Nick Olsen wrote: > I've noticed that the NSM2's do better then the NS2's.
