GUARDIAN SYSTEM 5 INSTALLATION MANUAL
As a result of continuing research and product development in the area of lightning and
lightning protection, LPI reserves the right to alter any detail contained within at any
time without notice.
Prior to installation of the Guardian System 5, installers should check with LPI or an
authorised distributor to conrm they have the most recent version of the Guardian
System 5 Installation manual.
It should be noted that 100% (100 percent) protection level for direct lightning strikes
is not possible and cannot be provided due to the lightning discharge process being a
natural atmospheric event.

Warranty
LPI’s Guardian System 5 Lightning Protection System is guaranteed against defects in materials
and workmanship for a period of 5 years from the original sales date when it was purchased
from LPI or one of its authorised distributors.
The warranty is limited to the ex factory cost of replacement of equipment providing it has been
installed and or certied by LPI or its distributor. All other costs such as freight, re-installation,
loss of prot, insurance premiums are not included.
Responsibility for other direct or indirect damages or death is also specically excluded from
the warranty.
The range of Guardian CAT terminals (or to our knowledge any other lightning protection
system) cannot provide 100% protection and therefore it is not inferred.
As conrmation of the above paragraph we refer to Australian Standard AS 1768 (2007).
Lightning Protection
Comments on the Australian Standard AS 1768 (2007).
We refer to the standard where it states that it provides authoritative guidance of a general
nature only and it is not intended to become a mandatory set of regulations.
In general, it is not economically possible to provide total protection against all the possible
damaging effects for lightning, but the recommendations in this standard will reduce the
probability of damage to a calculated acceptable level and will minimise any lightning damage
that does occur.
Thunderstorms are natural phenomena and there are no proven devices and methods capable
of preventing lightning ashes. Direct and nearby cloud-to-ground lightning discharges
can be hazardous to persons, structures, installations and many other things in or on them.
Consideration should always be given to the application of lightning protection measures.
Users are warned that direct strike lightning protection is only one aspect of the overall
protection strategy required for comprehensive structural, personnel and equipment safety.
Correctly designed and installed low impedance earthing, elimination of earth loops, systems
engineering, surge protection on power lines and transient protection of communications, data
and telephone lines are also essential.

• Ensure safe working environments and practices to local codes.
• Use of personal protective equipment during installation.
• Use mechanical methods of raising and installing masts over 6m.
• Cordon off area below installation point.
• Check for overhead powerlines or any other obstructions before lifting or raising.
• Ensure enough man power to safely conduct all aspects of installation.
• The installation must conform to all relevant local standards and regulations.
Recommended Installation Method
General Safety Guidelines
To assist in the installation of the Guardian CAT terminal and accessories, refer to drawings
CTA-01, CTA-02, CTA-03, CTA-04, CTA-05, CTA-06 and HVC-1 as illustrated on pages 5 to 11.

2. Installation of the HVSC Downconductor.
3. Lower termination of the HVSC Downconductor and connection to the lightning earth.
4. Upper termination of the HVSC Downconductor and connection to the Guardian CAT
terminal.
5. Preparation and raising of the mast into position.
The LPI Guardian CAT Terminal should only be installed during storm free periods.
