The ERITECH ® Isolated Downconductor is a specialized lightning protection downconductor, that during operation may be subjected to impulse
currents of over 100,000 Amps and voltage of up to 700,000 V may be developed.
Reliable operation is dependent upon correct design and installation in accordance with IEC 62305 series and ERICO instructions.
The Isolated Downconductor must not be damaged in handling, installation or service. The downconductor sheath is a specialized semi-conductive
material requiring electrical bonding to the structure. This sheath is fragile and damage to the sheath may require replacement of the cable.
Fully refer to installation instructions prior to handling and installation. Do not assume that traditional lightning protection or HV cable
practices apply.
These products should be installed as part of a IEC 62305 series integrated lightning protection system.
No lightning protection system offers 100% protection against all lightning events. However, correct installation is essential for the maximum level
of safety.
Only install system during storm-free periods. Do not install in close proximity to overhead power lines. Do not expose personnel to
electromagnetic radiation sources such as live transmission equipment during installation.
1. ERICO products shall be installed and used only as indicated in ERICO product instruction sheets and training materials. Instruction sheets are
available at www.erico.com and from your ERICO customer service representative.
2. ERICO products must never be used for a purpose other than the purpose for which they were designed or in a manner that exceeds specified
load ratings.
3. All instructions must be completely followed to ensure proper and safe installation and performance.
4. Improper installation, misuse, misapplication or other failure to completely follow ERICO’s instructions and warnings may cause product
malfunction, property damage, serious bodily injury and death.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: All governing codes and regulations and those required by the job site must be observed. Always use appropriate safety
equipment such as eye protection, hard hat, and gloves as appropriate to the application.
