Fastening the isCon

®

 conductor on the air-termination rod using strip clips

1.  In addition, fasten the isCon

®

 conductor to the air-termination rod at a 

maximum distance of 1 metre through non-metallic strip clips (cable 

ties, type 555 7.6x380 SWUV).

Fastening the potential connection clip to the air-termination rod

2.  Fasten the potential connection clip (type 927 2 6-K) to the metallic 

element at the lower end of the insulated central rod.
