DIRECT STRIKE PROTECTION
A direct lightning strike, as the name suggests, describes an electrical dis-
charge directly to a lightning rod or the CPE itself.
The CPE must be installed within the lightning rod’s protection umbrella or have
sufficient grounding and surge protection installed.
See Grounding Protection on page 12 for more information on grounding spec-
ifications.
DISCLAIMER: CONSULT A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL TO
DETERMINE THE CORRECT PROTECTION METHOD FOR YOUR
INSTALLATION.
