Are you a licensed electrician looking to grow your business and offer cutting-edge lightning protection technology to your clients? We're actively hiring CMCE Certified Installers to help meet growing demand across residential, commercial, and marine sectors.
INSTALLATION PROCESS
Proper installation is key to the performance of the CMCE Lightning Suppressor. As a certified installer, you'll be trained to meet the unique requirements for either structures or vessels, ensuring optimal protection for every project.
BUILDINGS
For structures of all sizes, the CMCE must be installed at least 3 to 6 feet above the highest point of the building. The device is mounted using a 1.5" aluminum or galvanized steel pipe, which may be attached in a variety of ways depending on the structure:
- Roof-mounted using a tripod or roof bracket
- Side-mounted to the structure
- Attached to an adjacent object like a tree or flagpole
Grounding is a critical part of the installation. The CMCE must be connected to an existing or newly installed Delta ground system using a 1/0 copper wire, achieving a ground resistance of less than 5 ohms. When necessary, a new ground system should be created to meet this requirement.
VESSELS
The CMCE must be installed at the highest point of the vessel, exceeding at least 1 foot above any existing equipment or antennas. VHF can be wrapped in heat shrink and the CMCE installed at the highest point, below VHF. The CMCE's support mast of 1.5" galvanized steel should be mounted to a pole that is attached to mast. A single straight ground wire run is optimal, using 4 AWG. Grounded to the vessel's busbar, anodes, or a grounding place.
We provide all installation training, documentation, and technical support to help you get started quickly and confidently.
