Installation Guidelines
➜ For full details on installing your SI
INTERCEPTOR, please refer to ERICO’s
technical notes and the French national
standard NFC17-102. It is also
recommended to adhere to local
standards for relevant local down
conductor and grounding requirements.
This manual is a guide to the Installation,
Operation and Maintenance of the
ERITECH® SI INTERCEPTOR Lightning
Protection System. It assumes that the
system to be installed has been designed by
an authorized ERICO representative. The
system design will include:
• Grounding systems design – a configuration should be designed as a result of
soil resistivity analysis.
Certification
The certification of the ERITECH SI
INTERCEPTOR installation must be
performed by an authorised ERICO
representative. This is done in conjunction
with issuing of a Certificate of Compliance,
which is available from your nearest ERICO
office. When this certificate has been
completed and signed, a copy must be
either taken by the ERICO representative or
sent to the nearest ERICO office. During the
process of certification, the following will
be checked:
• Downconductor routes - chosen to avoid
other services, maintain minimum
bending radii and minimize down
conductor run length.
• Downconductor securing requirements.
• LPSD - CAD analysis design software
which determines terminal placement,
mast & height requirements as well as
protection level calculation.
All of the above are recommended for a
successful installation. If there is any
doubt about any of the points
mentioned, please contact ERICO or its
nearest representative for clarification.
• Installation matches the Benji design.
• The integrity of the mast and any
associated brackets and fastenings.
Warning - Only attempt to
install the ERITECH® SI
INTERCEPTOR during
storm-free periods.
• Guying, anchor points and fastenings.
• Downconductor routing, securing and
seals.
• Ground termination of down-conductor.
➜ The SI INTERCEPTOR must be at least 2
meters higher than any other point on
the structure it is intended to protect.
• Grounding System.
• Labelling.
➜ The resistance of the lightning protection
grounding system must be less than 10
ohms. This should be measured without
downconductor(s) connected and without interconnection to other grounding
systems.
• Certificate of Compliance and Warranty
Card completed and returned.
• General mechanical check of all
fastenings.

Operation and Maintenance
to the structure. Check that the guys are
secure and undamaged. Replace if
necessary. Check that all fastenings are
secure and tight.
The ERITECH® SI INTERCEPTOR lightning
protection system requires no user
operation and is completely automatic in
operation.
5. Look for signs of damage to the
downconductor (whether by lightning,
careless handling, vandalism or other
causes).
• The SI becomes active only during
storm activity.
• The system does not require any external
power requirements or replacement
components for normal operation.
6. Check that the Lightning Event Counter
is secure, if the display is registering a
reading, then record the reading and
date.
• It is essential that the ERITECH® SI
INTERCEPTOR Lightning Protection
System be regularly maintained.
Maintenance should be undertaken:
7. Ensure the grounding resistance is less
than 10 .
8. Check the continuity of all bonding
conductors
1. After each known strike to the SI
INTERCEPTOR or at least once per year.
2. If any changes have been made to the
structure, whether they be structural,
antennae or Building Maintenance Unit
additions, etc.
Installation Instructions
The recommended order of installation is as
follows:
Maintenance should be undertaken as
follows:
1. Full installation of the grounding system.
2. Full installation of the downconductor.
Do not attempt
maintenance during
potential lightning periods.
3. Termination of the downconductor to the
grounding system.
4. Terminate the top of the downconductor
to the SI INTERCEPTOR mast.
1. Check that the building is the same
physical shape and that no additional
structures such as antennae, advertising
signs, satellite dishes, Building
Maintenance Units or similar have been
installed within 2m (80in.) height of the
SI INTERCPTOR.
5. Raise the mast into position and secure.
2. Inspect the SI INTERCEPTOR to ensure
that it is not dented or physically
damaged in any way.
3. Inspect the Finial Tip on top of the SI
INTERCEPTOR to ensure that it is not
excessively burnt, deformed or missing.
4. Check that the mast is securely attached

5 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
This product has a limited warranty to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of ten (5) years from the date of dispatch from the Manufacturer.
The Purchaser acknowledges that lightning is a natural event with statistical variation
in behavior and energy levels which may exceed product ratings, and 100% protection is not offered and cannot be provided for. Therefore the Manufacturer's liability is

which in its judgement has not been abused, misused, interfered with by any person
not authorized by the Manufacturer, or exposed to energy or transient levels exceeding the Manufacturer's specifications for the product. The product must be installed
and earthed (where applicable) in strict accordance with the Manufacturer's specifications and all relevant national Electricity and Safety Standards. The Manufacturer
and the Purchaser mutually acknowledge that the product by its nature may be subject to degradation as a consequence of the number and severity of surges and transients that it experiences in normal use and this warranty excludes such gradual or
sudden degradation. This warranty does not indemnify the Purchaser of the product
for any consequential claim for damages or loss of operations or service or profits.
Customers should contact their nearest ERICO agent to obtain a Product Repair
Authorization Number prior to making any claim under this warranty. This is only a
