office and commercial buildings, or other places in which a large num-
ber of people meet.
I n the case of lightning protection systems in structures at risk of explo-
sion, we recommend carrying out a visual inspection every 6 months.

Carrying out a visual inspection

– Check that the black, weakly conductive layer of the isCon
is undamaged. An interruption of this layer will prevent the conductor
from functioning. In this case, replace the isCon
– When using the isCon
check that the grey external jacket is undamaged. Damage to this
layer will prevent the conductor from functioning. In this case, replace
the isCon
Pro+ 75 GR conductors.

– Check that the protective jacket of the isCon
continuously present and has a material thickness of at least 0.2 mm.
In this case, replace the isCon
jacket may be interrupted and damaged. The protective jacket may be
damaged but must be continuously present.
– Check that the potential connection cables and all connection com-
ponents, in particular the potential connection elements, are undam-
aged. There must be a low-resistance connection between all the
elements. If necessary, restore the flow.
– Check that the function of the holders and other mounting elements is
not impaired. If necessary, retighten the screws.
– Check that only products of the isCon
elements, are used during mounting. Replace the parts which are not
components of the isCon
system.
