STORMASTER ESE 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 Stormaster ESE system, installers should check with LPI or an
authorised distributor to confirm they have the most recent version of the Stormaster
ESE Installation manual.
It should be noted that 100% (100 percent) protection for direct lightning strikes is not
possible and cannot be provided due to the lightning discharge process being a natural
atmospheric event.

General Safety Guidelines
Recommended Installation Method
∆Ensure safe working environments and practices to local codes
∆Use personal protective equipment during installation
∆Use mechanical methods of raising and installing masts over 6 m
∆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.
To assist in the installation of the Stormaster ESE terminal and accessories, refer to drawings
as illustrated on pages 8 to 15.
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.
