5. Lightning Strike Counter Installation

The Lightning Strike Counter should be installed at a position along the
down conductor length where it can be accessed easily for inspection.

Typically the strike counter should be installed approximately 2m from

ground level.

The strike counter should be mounted away from areas where damage/loss

may occur due to theft, vandalism or damage from nearby operations.

The strike counter can be enclosed in a security enclosure but the display
should be kept visible to allow for the checking of recorded strikes.
