CMCE Lightning Suppressor Home Installation Process

Protecting your home from the devastating effects of lightning strikes is essential, and the CMCE Lightning Suppressor offers an advanced solution designed to prevent lightning formation over properties of all sizes. Our team works closely with each customer to ensure the installation meets their specific needs and expectations, whether they prioritize aesthetic placement or prefer a functional approach such as mounting the device directly off the chimney. 

Installation Process 

A typical CMCE Lightning Suppressor installation requires a support mast made of 1.5-inch galvanized steel pipe, at least 6 feet in length. To maximize effectiveness, the CMCE must be installed at the structure's highest point, ideally 6 feet above the peak. Several mounting options are available to accommodate different property layouts: 

• Chimney Mount: The mast must be secured to the side of the chimney. 
• Flagpole Mount: If a flagpole is available and meets height requirements, it can serve as an installation point. 
• Tripod or Roof Bracket: When a center roof installation is required, a tripod or a specialized, adjustable roof bracket can be utilized for stability and support without penetrating the roof. 
• Tree Mount: For this option to be considered, the tree must be the highest point of the property, have a sturdy trunk, and tall thick branches. 

After securing the CMCE Lightning Suppressor in place, it must be properly grounded to an existing or newly installed Delta ground system. Effective grounding is crucial to ensuring the device functions as intended, safely dissipating the electrical charges from the atmosphere.
