Guying - Lightning Protection International Stormaster ESE 15 Installation Manual

Guying

LPI offers a standard 4 m and 7 m guy kit made up of light weight synthetic, non-conductive
cable. The LPI GUYKIT-4M and GUYKIT-7M are both non-conductive guying kits. They are
designed to be installed with the use of a guy ring at the top section of the FRP mast as
illustrated in figure 37. When guying from the LPI inline coupling, the use of stainless steel guy
wire kits (GUYKIT-4M-SS, GUYKIT-7M-SS) is recommended.
Important Recommendations:
∆
The guying angle must be no greater than 60° from horizontal
∆
The inline coupling couples the upper and lower mast
sections and provides guying points and an exit
point for the HVSC Plus downconductor
∆
Minimum of 3 guying grips per guy end
∆
Guying grips spaced at a minimum of 25 mm
∆
Grips are correctly orientated. Saddle on the
longer length side of the guy and U-bolt over
the tail side of the guy
∆
Tighten grips to no more than 60 cN.m
(5 Ibf.in) of torque
∆
Protect guying from
abrasion
