The Guardian Plus CM terminal is supplied with a threaded coupler (female thread) fixed to the
terminal and designed for connection to a the 2-inch GI pipe (male thread).
After installation of the Guardian Plus CM terminal to the threaded pipe as per Figure 11, it is
necessary to connect the metallic pipe to a conventional downconductor in order to convey the
lightning energy to the earthing system.
Ideally, the connection between the metallic pipe and the conventional downconductor should
be completed by lugging the downconductor at a practical point somewhere along the length
of the pipe.
Particular care should be taken to ensure that compatible metals are used when connecting the
downconductor to the metallic pipe.
For installation details of the conventional downconductor, please follow the instructions on
"Installation of Conventional Downconductors".
