In stru ctio n M a n u a l
This m anual is a guide to the Installation,
O peration and M aintenance of the
ERITEC H SI IN TERC EPTO R Lightning
Protection System . It assum es that the
system to be installed has been designed by
an authorized ERIC O representative. The
system design w ill include:
G rounding system s design a configura-
tion should be designed as a result of
soil resistivity analysis.
D ow nconductor routes - chosen to avoid
other services, m aintain m inim um
bending radii and m inim ize dow n
conductor run length.
D ow nconductor securing requirem ents.
LPSD - C A D analysis design softw are
w hich determ ines term inal placem ent,
m ast & height requirem ents as w ell as
protection level calculation.
A ll of the above are recom m ended for a
successful installation. If there is any
doubt about any of the points
m entioned, please contact ERIC O or its
nearest representative for clarification.
Warning - Only attempt to
install the ERITECH SI
INTERCEPTOR during
storm-free periods.
The SI IN TERC EPTO R m ust be at least 2
m eters higher than any other point on
the structure it is intended to protect.
The resistance of the lightning protection
grounding system m ust be less than 10
ohm s. This should be m easured w ithout
dow nconductor(s) connected and w ith-
out interconnection to other grounding
system s.

Installation Guidelines
For full details on installing your SI
IN TERC EPTO R, please refer to ERIC O s
technical notes and the French national
standard N FC 17-102. It is also
recom m ended to adhere to local
standards for relevant local dow n
conductor and grounding requirem ents.
Certif ication
The certification of the ERITEC H SI
IN TERC EPTO R installation m ust be
perform ed by an authorised ERIC O
representative. This is done in conjunction
w ith issuing of a C ertificate of C om pliance,
w hich is available from your nearest ERIC O
office. W hen this certificate has been
com pleted and signed, a copy m ust be
either taken by the ERIC O representative or
sent to the nearest ERIC O office. D uring the
process of certification, the follow ing w ill
be checked:
Installation m atches the Benji design.
The integrity of the m ast and any
associated brackets and fastenings.
G uying, anchor points and fastenings.
D ow nconductor routing, securing and
seals.
G round term ination of dow n-conductor.
G rounding System .
Labelling.
C ertificate of C om pliance and W arranty
C ard com pleted and returned.
G eneral m echanical check of all
fastenings.

Operation and Maintenance
The ERITEC H SI IN TERC EPTO R lightning
protection system requires no user
operation and is com pletely autom atic in
operation.
The SI becom es active only during
storm activity.
The system does not require any external
pow er requirem ents or replacem ent
com ponents for norm al operation.
It is essential that the ERITEC H SI
IN TERC EPTO R Lightning Protection
System be regularly m aintained.
M aintenance should be undertaken:
1. A fter each know n strike to the SI
IN TERC EPTO R or at least once per year.
2. If any changes have been m ade to the
structure, w hether they be structural,
antennae or Building M aintenance U nit
additions, etc.
M aintenance should be undertaken as
follow s:
Do not attempt
maintenance during
potential lightning periods.
1.C heck that the building is the sam e
physical shape and that no additional
structures such as antennae, advertising
signs, satellite dishes, Building
M aintenance U nits or sim ilar have been
installed w ithin 2m (80in.) height of the
SI IN TERC PTO R.
2. Inspect the SI IN TERC EPTO R to ensure
that it is not dented or physically
dam aged in any w ay.
3. Inspect the Finial Tip on top of the SI
IN TERC EPTO R to ensure that it is not
excessively burnt, deform ed or m issing.
4. C heck that the m ast is securely attached
to the structure. C heck that the guys are
secure and undam aged. Replace if
necessary. C heck that all fastenings are
secure and tight.
5. Look for signs of dam age to the
dow nconductor (w hether by lightning,
careless handling, vandalism or other
causes).
6. C heck that the Lightning Event C ounter
is secure, if the display is registering a
reading, then record the reading and
date.
7. Ensure the grounding resistance is less
than 10 .
8. C heck the continuity of all bonding
conductors
Installation Instructions
The recom m ended order of installation is as
follow s:
1.Full installation of the grounding system .
2.Full installation of the dow nconductor.
3.Term ination of the dow nconductor to the
grounding system .
4.Term inate the top of the dow nconductor
to the SI IN TERC EPTO R m ast.
5. Raise the m ast into position and secure.
