To assist in the installation of the Stormaster ESE terminal and
accessories refer to drawings GA-1, SM-1, ST-1, SW-1, ST-2 & HVS-1 as
illustrated on pages 8-13.
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 of the HVSC Downconductor and connection to
the Stormaster ESE terminal.
5. Preparation and raising of the mast into position.
LPI recommends the installation of a radial lightning earth as illustrated
in figure 8 on page 15.
• Each radial will consist of a trench (Approx: 500mm Deep x 200mm
Wide x 10m Length).
• An earth rod should be driven at the end of each trench.
• All rods should be interconnected through the use of 25mm x 3mm
copper tape and earth rod clamps.
• The application of earth enhancing compounds such as LPI RESLO
and GRIP assists to reduce soil resistivity to the recommended level
of less than 10 ohms.
Refer to page 15 for more detailed information on installation of the
lightning earth.
• It is very important to check that the correct length of HVSC has
been supplied.
• The HVSC may be installed internally or externally on the structure.
• The HVSC should be installed as close (flush) as possible to the
structure.
