Labelling
Warning labels are supplied with all Guardian Plus terminals and should be installed per the
following guidelines:
∆
In locations where personnel may be in close proximity to the HVSC Plus downconductor
∆
Where the HVSC Plus downconductor connects to the earthing system
∆
At the base of the support mast
There are two warning labels supplied with the product, and also two supplied in the lower
termination kit. If more labels are required, contact your nearest LPI supplier or distributor.
Masts
The mast chosen for the application must:
∆
Raise the terminal to a height of at least 2 metres higher than any competing points
on the structure
∆
Have an FRP mast section of at least 2 metres below the air terminal
if using LPI HVSC Plus
∆
Be suitable for local weather conditions. Seek guidance from
a local civil engineer
∆
Be guyed and securely attached to the dedicated mounting points
(if required)
Types of Mast Configurations
When mounting a Guardian Plus terminal, there are generally
three types of mast configurations that can be used.
1. Cantilevered
Typically used for mounting to a tower or the side wall
of a plant room when a mast and base are not suitable.
See drawing figure 29.
∆
One third the overall mast height must be fixed to
the structure for adequate mechanical strength
∆
Cantilevered masts can be guyed for additional strength. If
guying, the use of a guy ring and/or the eyelets provided on
the inline coupling can be utilised
