Lightning Strike Recorder (LSR1)

The Lightning Strike Recorder (LPI LSR1) should be installed at a position along the
downconductor length where it can be accessed easily for inspection. Typically, the LSR1 should
be installed approximately 1.5 m from ground level or alternatively within the earth pit at the
lower termination point of the HVSC Plus. See Figure 36.
When installing the LSR1, the following points should be considered:
∆
The LSR1 should be mounted away from areas where damage may occur due to vandalism
or nearby operations, or in locations where it could be stolen
∆
The LSR1 can be enclosed in a security enclosure but the display should be kept visible to
allow for the checking of recorded strikes
