 LPS installation Guideline
Poor installation quality worth nothing in case of lightning.
Proper connection is very important for lightning protection.
Selection of right installation materials and accessories are
very crucial
Protection systems shall be made of materials that are
resistant to corrosion or protected against corrosion.
Connectors and fittings shall be compatible for use with the
conductor and the surfaces on which they are installed.

 LPS Maintenance & Testing Guideline
Verifying that the air terminals and other components are free
of damage or excessive corrosion.
Checking for loose connections
Confirming continuity from the Air terminals to the grounding
electrode system.
Testing the resistance of earth electrodes once in every 11
months to take in count the effect of seasonal variation.
