At the lower
termination of the
downconductor,
disconnect the
. mm ( AWG)
bonding wire
from under the
hose clamp.

If possible, measure the continuity
between the center conductor at the lower
and upper end of the downconductor,
(this should be low ohms).
I
With a multimeter, measure the continuity
between the center conductor and the
copper screen of the downconductor.
(This should be greater than , ohms).

Reconnect the structure ground
bonding cable to the lightning
protection ground system, then
measure & record in column  of
ground resistance readings.
