  • Page 6: Warranty

    Responsibility for other direct or indirect damages or death is also specifically excluded from the warranty. The range of Stormaster ESE terminals (or to our knowledge any other lightning protection system) cannot provide 100% protection and therefore it is not inferred.

  • Page 7: Recommended Order Of Installation

    Quick Installation Guide To assist in the installation of the Stormaster ESE terminal and Recommended accessories refer to drawings GA-1, SM-1, ST-1, SW-1, ST-2 & HVS-1 as illustrated on pages 8-13. Order of Installation 1. Installation of the lightning earth.

  • Page 8: Lightning Earth

    • Be sure to allow for enough HVSC at the top end for connection to the Stormaster ESE terminal and the raising of the mast. Refer to drawing HVS-1 on page 13 when installing HVSC over the edge of a structure.

    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...

  • Page 17: Installation Of The Lightning Earth

    Lightning Earth Earth DC resistance (typically ‹10 ohms) and impendence (typically ‹30 ohms) is required for successful operation of LPI Stormaster ESE. Figure 8. LPI recommends the installation of a radial lightning earth as shown in figure 8.

  • Page 18: Ground Resistance Lowering Compounds

    • The application of earth enhancing compounds such as LPI RESLO and GRIP assists to reduce soil resistivity to the recommended level of less than 10 ohms. • A ground pit should be installed where the end of the down- conductor terminates to the lightning earth as shown in figure 8.

  • Page 19: Labelling

    Before bonding of these earths takes place make sure proper authorisation is gained. Bonding cable must be 70mm (2/0AWG) minimum depending on local standards. It may be necessary to use a Transient Earth Clamp (LPI TEC) which bonds all earths to the same potential under transient conditions.
  • Page 20 • Make sure that the cable drum is in a good condition. • Check that the correct length of HVSC downconductor has been supplied. The length of HVSC will be marked on the drum. • If the HVSC downconductor has been upper terminated on the outside of the drum, then the HVSC downconductor will need to be hauled up the structure with the drum staying on the ground.

  • Page 21: Hvsc Downconductor Clearance Holes

    • Be sure to allow for enough slack in the HVSC at the top end for connection to the Stormaster ESE Terminal and the raising of the mast. • If it is necessary to isolate the HVSC downconductor from the structure put the cable in an insulating conduit with a minimum wall thickness of 3mm (1/8in.).
  • Page 22 structure should be 2.5m (9ft). The entire length of the HVSC down- conductor cannot be run in insulated conduit. • HVSC Downconductor should be protected from damage at the lower end by installing a sleave of no more than 2m from ground level.

  • Page 23: Fixing The Hvsc Downconductor

    The Stormaster ESE Terminal provides a bolt for the lug connection to the lower finial connector of the mast butt adaptor. All conventional downconductors should be lugged and fixed to the terminal as per figure 12 below.

  • Page 24: Installation Of Stormaster Gi Terminal To Threaded Pipe

    The following are recommendations and points that should be considered when installing conventional downconductors. • Downconductors should be installed at each external corner of the building and additional downconductors installed at spacing not exceeding 20m. • The most direct path to ground is recommended avoiding sharp bends.
  • Page 25 Figure 13. Figure 14.

  • Page 26: Termination Of The Hvsc Lower End

    • Following installation of the Stormaster GI terminal to the threaded pipe as per drawing ST-2 and figure 13 it will be necessary to connect the metallic pipe to a conventional downconductor in order to convey the lightning energy to the earthing system. •...
  • Page 27 Figure 15. 1. Remove the outer sheath for a length of 15cm from the lower end of the HVSC by cutting radially around HVSC cable with the supplied insulation friction cutting tool. (This is less likely to damage individual copper conductors than by cutting radially with a knife). The lengthwise cut can be completed with a knife.
  • Page 28 5. Bunch together both inner and outer screen conductors. If con- necting directly to the earth system as per figure 20 then the bunched conductors should be connected to the earth rod clamp and the clamp tightened holding the conductors firmly in place. To avoid oxidisation of this connection seal it using the water resistant (Denso Tape) as provided in the kit.

    Now screw the mast butt adaptor into the Stormaster terminal. Figure 27. Warning Labels are supplied with all Stormaster ESE terminals and Labelling should be installed as per the following. • In locations where personnel may be in close contact to the HVSC...

  • Page 34: Masts

    • 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. When mounting a Stormaster ESE terminal there Types of Mast are generally three types of mast configurations Configurations that can be used.

  • Page 35: Mast Bases

    Guyed When mounting a Stormaster ESE terminal a typical guyed configuration would involve the following. See drawing SM-1 and Figure 29. • Two sections of mast (Aluminium mast & FRP mast) coupled together with a inline coupling. Securing of guy wires is completed at the eyelets as provided on the inline coupling.

  • Page 36: Mast Couplings And Guying Points

    A Guying Ring is supplied for guy points for any two piece masts that require double guying. This fits on the terminals mast butt adaptor between the Stormaster ESE terminal and the top of the mast. See Figure 32 under the heading titled Guying.

  • Page 37: Preparation And Raising Of The Mast

    Figure 32. 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 downconductor. • Minimum of 3 guying grips per guy end. •...

  • Page 38: Raising Of Mast

    • It is very important to keep the mast straight during the lift to avoid damaging the mast. • The Stormaster ESE terminal must NOT be used as a slinging point. • When lifting the mast, ensure that the slings or ropes cannot damage the Stormaster ESE terminal, see Figure 33.
  • Page 39 Figure 33. • Protect the HVSC downconductor at the base of the mast when lifting, maintain a minimum bending radius of 500mm (20 in.) and ensure it does not drag over rough or sharp surfaces. Figure 34.

  • Page 40: Lightning Strike Recorder (Lsr1)

    The Lightning Strike Recorder (LSR1) should be installed at a position Lightning along the downconductor length where it can be accessed easily for Strike inspection. Typically the LSR1 should be installed approximately 1.5m from ground level or alternatively within the ground pit at the lower Recorder termination point of the HVSC.

  • Page 41: Certification

    The certification of the LPI Stormaster ESE installation should be Certification performed by an authorised LPI representative. A certificate of compliance and warranty registration is provided with the installation manual. This certificate should be completed in full following the successful inspection and certification of the installation.

  • Page 42: Testing The Stormaster Terminal

    • All warning labels must still be in place. • Check LSR1 for secure installation and record number of strikes. LPI manufactures and supplies a terminal spark-over tester suitable Testing the for testing the Stormaster ESE range of terminals. Contact your local distributor for further details.
