The device must not be installed at the outlet of the exhaust pipe, or installed
in a place where water passes through, for example, a rain shed.
• The device shall be installed in the position of the site survey design drawings
and within the protection range of 45° of the lightning rod. In high mountains
and areas with heavy lightning (the number of thunderstorm days per year
exceeds 180), ensure that the device is within the protection range of 30°of the
lightning rod.
