CAUTION Install the down conductor on the opposite side of the mast from the other cables.
CAUTION Because of the requirements of the lightning protection system, the down conductor is rigid and hard to handle. Be careful when handling it.
  1. Guide the down conductor from the groove connector at the top of the mast towards the mast base.
  2. To ensure the shortest and most direct path to ground, keep the down conductor as straight as possible. Do not make sharp bends to the conductor.
    CAUTION Keep the curve of the down conductor smooth with a minimum radius of the bent cable 20 cm (8 in) and never over 90° angles.
  3. Attach the down conductor to the pole mast using appropriate fasteners. To make sure that the down conductor runs smoothly, place the fasteners evenly.
