Multiple hot wire jumpers should be made on the fence at a location where any lightning surge energy has to pass through the diverter and choke before reaching the charger.

Proper Installation of your lightning diverter is essential to its operation in the event of a lightning strike on the fence line.

For best Results:

  1. Install diverter close to charger (minimum 50 ft between beds)
  2. Use a choke coil in very close proximity to diverter. The closer the better.
  3. If installing the fence leave enough of a leg of wire after crimping around the end or corner post to pass through the diverter and connect to choke coil. Otherwise use a Split Bolt Line Tap (CBTE or CBTSSE) to connect to the main fence line.
  4. Mount the lightning diverter and choke coil to the post as shown. Unscrew the top nut on the diverter and lay wire from the fence line in the top slot and connect to choke coil. Tighten both connections.
  5. Attach wire from the charger to the other end of the coke coil.
  6. Install the ground bed. Run the wire from the bottom of the diverter to the ground bed insulating it where it crosses the wires.
