LPI Stormaster ESE Installation

All site and safety requirements must be followed during the installation of the LPI Stormaster ESE.
The correct order of installation is as follows:
1. Installation of the lightning earth.
2. Installation of the HVSC Plus downconductor.
3. Lower termination of the HVSC Plus downconductor and connection to the lightning earth.
4. Upper termination of the HVSC Plus downconductor and connection to the Stormaster ESE
terminal.
5. Preparation and raising of the mast into position.
LPI Stormaster ESE should only be installed during storm free periods.
If the Stormaster ESE terminal needs to be raised prior to connection to the lightning earth or
immediate connection is not possible, then connect the lower end of the downconductor to
structural steel reinforcing or other suitable earth point.
