The LPI Stormaster ESE components received should be checked against
the “Bill of materials” for loss during shipping and for damage.
Check the following:
Terminal (s)
• Terminals have not been dented or damaged in any way during transit.
Downconductor(s)
• The HVSC cable drum (if supplied) is not damaged.
• The correct HVSC length(s) have been supplied.
• No obvious damage to the HVSC cable.
• If a factory completed upper termination is supplied check to see
that the termination is not damaged.
Lengths and quantities of HVSC (if multiple lengths on one drum), will be
shown on the side of the Cable Drum(s).
All site and safety requirements must be followed during the installation
of the LPI Stormaster ESE.
The correct order of installation is as follows:
1. Installation of the lightning earth.
2. Installation of the HVSC downconductor.
3. Lower termination of the HVSC downconductor and connection to
the lightning earth.
4. Upper termination the HVSC downconductor and connection to the
Stormaster ESE terminal.
5. Preparation and raising of the mast into position.
LPI Stormaster ESE should only be installed during storm-free
periods.
If the Stormaster ESE terminal needs to be raised prior to connection to
the lightning earth or immediate connection is not possible then connect
the lower end of the downconductor to structural steel reinforcing or
other suitable earth point.
