With OBO, the construction of lightning protection systems in accordance with guidelines VDE 0185 becomes a matter of routine. With safety. These selected OBO components make it easier and more economical than ever before to construct lightning protection systems conforming to DIN/VDE. On the basis of years of experience, a lightning protection kit consisting of proven components which are

easy to install has been assembled for single and multi-family houses. The high quality means you can be sure of two things: satisfied customers and protection from lightning. Another significant advantage is the slimming-down of the product range a result of applying the modular principle, which makes the range easy to stock and understand. You will quickly see for yourself as soon as you have studied this brochure in more detail how few parts are

needed to install lightning protection in line with DIN/VDE 0185, and how much simpler and more attractive this future-proof and profitable area of business consequently becomes for electrical installation firms.

Many lightning protection components are also available in copper or brass. Ask your electrical wholesaler.

The lightning collector is the part of the external lightning protection system that is designed to collect the lightning.

The conductor system is the part of the external lightning protection system that is designed to conduct the lightning current from the collector to the earthing installation.

The earthing installation is the part of the external lightning protection system that carries the lightning current into the earth.

The lightning protection potential equalisation is the part of the internal lightning protection system that reduces potential differences caused by the lightning current.

OBO lightning protection guide Principles of external lightning protection

Lightning is one of the natural phenomena that has always fascinated mankind. Although much marvelled at, lightning presents considerable danger to people and their surroundings. Differences in electrical charge between the inside of clouds and the earth, which occur predominantly in the summer months, lead to storm fronts. The lightning that we see consists mostly of an impressed negative current flowing from the clouds to the earth. If a building is struck by lightning, the lightning current heats up the point where the lightning struck and the masonry itself. This could cause fire to break out.

In Germany, several hundred million euros worth of damage is caused by lightning strikes every year. Lightning protection systems professionally installed in accordance with the regulations offer effective protection from direct lightning strikes. DIN/VDE standard 0185 Part 1 and Part 2 of November 1982 is still the basic guide to the installation and testing of lightning protection systems. Recommended standards are ENV 61024-1, and for Germany DIN/VDE 0185 Part 100 and DIN/VDE 0185 Part 103, since these publications reflect the current state of technology knowledge. Depending on the construction and use of the building, and the consequential damage weighed against the accepted frequency of lightning strikes, one of four lightning protection classes is assigned for the building to be protected.

Protection class I II III IV

Peak lightning current 200 kA 150 kA 100 kA 100 kA

The lightning protection classes (BKZ) define parameters that are necessary for the installation of a lightning protection system. The table above lists the lightning protection classes and their associated peak lightning current values.

A program to calculate lightning protection classes in accordance with IEC 61024-1, DIN V VDE 0185 Part 100 is available on request.

Structure of a lightning protection system A lightning protection system (LPS) is made up of the following function units: 1. Lightning collector: the part of the external lightning protection system that is designed to collect the lightning.

A. Protective angle method The protective angle method is a way of designing a lightning collector. The building to be protected must be situated within the space protected by the collector rods or the collector device. The protective angle depends on the height of the building; it can be taken from DIN V VDE standard 0185 Part 100. Taking a protective angle of 45 as an example, buildings up to 30 metres high can be protected (BKZ 3 < 23 metres, BKZ 2 < 15 metres, BKZ 1 < 10 metres).

B. Mesh method Another way of setting up a lightning collector is the mesh method. Starting from the preferred lightning strike points, such as ridges, hips and edges, collector wires are laid on the roof surfaces in the form of a mesh. The table below shows the mesh dimensions for each lightning protection class.

C. Lightning sphere method Collector designs can also be determined with the lightning sphere method. This method requires a model of the object to be protected and a sphere that is rolled over the model. A lightning collector must be installed at all points touched by the sphere. With this method too, the lightning protection class determines the degree of protection to be expected, on the basis of the radius of the sphere. The lightning sphere method is intended for larger and more complex buildings, where the higher cost compared with the protective angle method and the mesh method is justified.

2. Lightning conductor system: the part of the external lightning protection system that is designed to conduct the lightning current from the collector to the earthing installation. The number of lightning conductors depends on the size of the building to be protected, but at least two conductors must be installed. When installing lightning conductors, it is essential to keep current paths short and to avoid loops. The table below shows the distances between the conductors and the associated lightning protection classes.

Protection class I II III IV

Mesh size 10 m 15 m 20 m 25 m

4. Lightning protection potential equalisation: the part of the internal lightning protection system that reduces potential differences caused by the lightning current. For this, power wiring and data wiring (telecommunication wires, control system wiring, cable television, etc.) must be included in the lightning protection potential equalisation. This is done with lightning arresters of requirement class B to DIN VDE 0675 Part 6 (A1/A2). Electric power lines must be connected to the lightning arresters of requirement class B as close as possible to the place where they enter the building (the domestic connection box, for example). Here are two installations by way of example:

If the meter is not located immediately adjacent to the domestic connection box, the lightning arrester must be installed upstream of the meter. Here, the installation must be approved by the local electricity supply company. In this case we recommend lightning arrester type MC 50B (see page 18). This arrester satisfies all the conditions of the VDEW guidelines and bears VDE, VE and KEMA KEUR approval marks. It is advisable to install surge protection of requirement class C to DIN/VDE 0675 Part 6 (A1/A2) as well as the lightning arresters. Even if the surge arrester is not strictly required by the regulations, it is important to suggest to the customer that surge protection should be provided as well.

Materials and hardware Wherever there is a junction between different materials there is a risk of corrosion. For this reason, copper parts should never be installed together with galvanised surfaces or aluminium components, since rain or other effects may result in copper particles reaching the galvanised or aluminium surfaces. Places where there is a high risk of corrosion, for example where conductors enter concrete or the ground, must also be protected from corrosion. Buried connections must be suitably coated to prevent corrosion. Bare aluminium must not be placed in direct contact with plaster, mortar or concrete and must not be buried. The table above shows some combinations of metals that are possible from the point of view of contact corrosion.

Testing lightning protection systems After acceptance testing, lightning protection systems must be re-tested at set intervals to ensure that they are still working properly and to allow improvements to be made where possible. The tests should be carried out with reference to DIN VDE standard 0185 Part 110 and its technical principles. A test report covering the following points must be written:

Tested lightning protection components Components for the construction of lightning protection systems used to be defined by the series of standards DIN 48801 to DIN 48852, which gave prominence to component dimensions. In August 1999, EN 50164-1 (DIN/VDE 0185 Part 201) came into force. Connection components are tested to this standard. After a conditioning phase totalling ten days, the components are subjected to three current surges. They are assigned to one of two test classes: Test class H

General condition of collector cables and other collector system components. General condition of the degree of corrosion. Soundness of the fixings of the cables and the components of the lightning protection system. Any deviations from the requirements of IEC 61024-1.

A ring earth is a surface earth which is laid, if possible, in a closed ring around the outside foundation of the building at a distance of one metre and a depth of half a metre. Earth entry bars of galvanised steel must be treated to prevent corrosion over at least 30 cm upward and downward from the surface of the ground. Anti-corrosion bandage type 356 is suitable for this purpose. Non-permanent connections in the ground must also be protected with an anti-corrosion bandage. The cable holders and roof cable holders should not be more than 1.2 m apart. The ring earth must have a conducting connection to the equipotential bonding bar.

A deep earth rod is an earth rod which is driven down to a great depth, usually vertically. For each lightning conductor, a single deep earth rod nine metres long (according to DIN VDE 0185 Part 1) must be installed about one metre away from the foundation of the building. According to DIN VDE 0185 Part 100, there are additional aspects to consider. The required earth rod length may be divided into several lengths connected in parallel. Depending on the nature of the ground, earth rods are driven in manually or with a suitable electric, petrol or pneumatic power hammer. Removable connections in the soil must be protected from corrosion (with a flexible corrosion bandage).

A foundation earth is a conductor embedded in the concrete foundation of a building, which provides an earth for lightning protection, among other things, if the terminal tabs needed to connect the lightning conductors are brought out from the foundation. Branches and connections in the foundation can be made by means of wedge connectors. Wedge connectors must not be used in the ground. When installing the foundation earth rod, we recommend using strap holders to ensure a clean run. The holders (21) should be positioned about two metres apart. On flat roofs, roof cable holders should not be more than one metre apart. The sheet metal covering is used as a lightning collector. Where the conductor is more than 20 metres long, at least one expansion piece is needed.

Which lightning arrester and when?

Because of its lightning current discharge capacity (25kAfour-pole (10/350)), the V 25-B should be used in small buildings. Its low protection level means that the V 25-B can also be used as a B and C combination arrester. According to the VDS (German Association of Property Insurers), use in buildings is permitted. For example detached houses, small workshops, etc. Compared with the V 25-B, LightningController MC 50-B VDE has a higher lightning current discharge capacity (50 kAsingle pole (10/350)) and is mainly used in industrial plants. A further possible site is buildings assigned to one of the lightning protection classes to IEC 61024-1. For example public buildings, churches, industrial plants, department stores, meeting halls, etc. For wiring guidance see page 4.

V 25-B: (for TN-C, TN-S systems) Lightning arrester V 25-B is intended for use in lightning protection potential equalisation to VDE 0185, Part 1, as well as Part 100. It is an arrester of requirement class B to DIN VDE 0675, Part 6 (Draft 11.89), the purpose of which is to establish lightning protection potential equalisation for the power supply line in the presence of a lightning protection system for the building. It should also be used in buildings supplied via an overhead line, since direct lightning or partial lightning currents may be expected here as well. OBO lighting arrester V 25-B has a built-in isolating device with defect indication, so that a faulty arrester module can be replaced without removing the connecting wires and switching off the power. To measure the insulation, simply withdraw the upper part of the V 25-B.
Type Pack qty Weight kg each Order no.

V 25-B/3 (TN-C) V 25-B/4 (TN-S) MC 50-B VDE: The plug-in multiple spark gap of the OBO MC 50-B VDE is a lightning arrester of requirement class B to DIN VDE 0675 Part 6 (draft 11.89), as well as Class I to IEC 61643-1 (02.98) and is designed to be used between interfaces 0A to 1 according to the lightning protection zone concept set out in IEC 1312-1. The requirements for the testability of class B surge protection devices in the VDEW guideline (first edition 1998) are comprehensively met by the use of a plug-in upper part. Since the spark gap of the device is enclosed, no plasma arcs are produced outside the casing. This means that the lightning arrester may be mounted on a standard NS 35 rail in a commercially available consumer unit.

The arrester modules are self-monitoring, thanks to a thermal isolating device with function indication. Varistor blocks can be withdrawn singly from the lower part without interrupting the voltage. Guide bars prevent unauthorised removal. The arrester can be upgraded for remote monitoring by means of an infrared light barrier. The arrester conforms to requirement class B of DIN VDE 0675, Part 6 and annexes.

MC 125-B/NPE: The OBO type MC 125-B/NPE LightningController was designed to be used in TN-S, TT and IT systems as a sum current spark gap between the neutral conductor (N) and the protective earth conductor (PE). It meets the requirements of requirement class B of DIN VDE 0675 Part 6 (draft 11.89), as well as class I of IEC 61643-1 (02.98) and is designed to be used between interfaces 0A to 1 according to the lightning protection zone concept set out in IEC 1312-1. In conjunction with OBO LightningController MC 50-B VDE and in the presence of a lightning protection system for the building or overhead power lines, the MC 125-B/NPE establishes lightning protection potential equalisation. The requisite tests have been performed with reference to the lightning current parameters according to ENV 61024-1 and IEC 1024-1.

1. All our supplies and services shall be governed exclusively by the following terms and conditions, including our additional terms and conditions for cable tray business transactions. Any terms and conditions of business and purchasing of the customer shall be valid only if we have acknowledged them in writing. Our quotations are without engagement; they are mere invitations to submit contract offers. Any and all transactions and agreements, including those entered into by our employees and agents shall only be binding upon our written confirmation or invoicing. The foregoing provision shall also apply to any modifications of the agreed formal requirements. 2. The documents and data pertaining to the quotation, such as illustrations, brochures, drawings, dimensions, loading capacity values and weight details are approximate only, unless they are expressly stipulated to be binding. Samples are non-binding samples for inspection. Any purchase according to sample will be subject to customary deviations and deviations resulting from normal production processes. The properties of the sample shall be no guaranteed quality of the purchase object unless expressly stated otherwise in the confirmation of order. Samples must be returned to us at the latest within four weeks in perfect condition. If they are not returned within this period in proper condition,we shall be entitled to charge the purchase price for the sample in accordance with our currentprice list. All information on our products, in particular the illustrations, drawings, weight, dimension and performance data included in our quotations and printed matter shall be regarded as approximate average values and shall not represent any quality guarantee. With regard to products made according to customer drawings, samples and other instructions of the customer, we will not provide any warranty nor assume any liability for the due and proper functioning of the product or for any other defects if and to the extent they are based upon the customers specifications. The customer shall indemnify us from any third party claims, including claims for product liability as may be asserted against us for damages resulting from the products unless we have caused such damages by intent or gross negligence. The customer shall warrant that the manufacture and supply of products made in accordance with his instructions will not infringe any proprietary rights of third parties. Should any proprietary rights be asserted against us, we shall be entitled, without any legal review of the third party claims, to withdraw from the contract after hearing the customer, unless the third party withdraws the claims asserted against us under its proprietary rights within eight days by written declaration. The customer shall compensate us for any damage sustained as a result of the assertion of proprietary rights. In case of withdrawal, the work we have carried out so far shall be remunerated. Further rights under the statutory provisions shall not be affected thereby. Any moulds, tools and design data produced by us for the execution of the order shall be our exclusive property. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the customer shall not have any claims thereto, even if he has contributed to the costs of producing any such moulds, tools and design data. 3. The packing, shipping route and means of transportation shall be left to our discretion in the absence of any other agreements. They shall be charged at their cost price. We will take back undamaged cases, when being returned carriage paid, at 2/3 of the amount invoiced. The one-way or pool pallets used for transport shall be either exchanged upon taking delivery or returned. The smallest packing units stocked and listed may not be broken up for rationalisation reasons. In case of orders for different quantities, the nearest packing unit will be supplied. We reserve the right to deviate from the agreed delivery quantity, in particular in the case of custom-made products, to a customary extent or in conformity with national or international standards. In case of a demand for adhering to a precise quantity, an express reference is necessary and subject to confirmation. Master and call orders shall oblige the customer to accept the total quantity on which the master/call order is based. Where no particular call orders are specified in the contract, the total quantity of the master call order must be called within twelve months. If the customer fails to adhere to call deadlines, we shall be entitled to deliver and charge the total quantity in full after four weeks from written notice with reference to the consequences of any failure to call. Our rights arising from any default of the customer shall not be affected thereby. 4. Unless otherwise agreed, our prices are quoted ex works and do not include packing and insurance. The value added tax at the rate applicable on the date of dispatch will be added to our prices. The purchaser shall ensure the correctness of his VAT identification number, which he must notify to us immediately without being asked. He shall undertake to inform both us and the competent domestic tax authority without delay of any change in his name, address and VAT identification number. Delivery shall be franco domicile within Germany, i.e. carriage and packing prepaid, if the net order value is in excess of 1,200. For small orders below 100 (net excluding value added tax), we shall invoice a lower quantity surcharge of 10 (net) per order. Upon transfer of our supplies and services to a carrier or forwarding agent, at the latest upon their leaving our warehouse or supply plant, the risk shall pass to the recipient, even in case of deliveries free place of destination. 5.

Delivery periods shall commence upon receipt of our confirmation of order, but not before clarification of all execution details, ex place of delivery. The customer shall only be entitled to withdraw from the contract after having granted a reasonable extension of time. We reserve the right to make partial deliveries. Claims for damages and reimbursement ofexpenses -- for any reason whatsoever -- shallbe subjectto the provisions setout in article 10. In the event of any circumstances that are beyond our control within the scope of normal operating risks and obstruct or make impracticable any delivery, we shall be entitled to suspend delivery by the duration of such obstruction plus a reasonable start-up period or to withdraw from the contract for the part not yet fulfilled. The purchaser can demand a statement from us as to whether we wish to deliver within a reasonable period or withdraw. If we fail to make such a statement, the purchaser may withdraw. Our notice to the purchaser shall be deemed to be sufficient evidence that we have been prevented from delivering. 6. Payments shall be made upon receipt of invoice less a 3% cash discount for payment within 10 days or net after 30 days from date of invoice. Erection work and all paid labour work must be paid within 10 days without deduction of any cash discount. In case of non-cash payments, the date of the credit note will be deemed to be the date of receipt ofpayment.Payments received shallalways be credited firstagainst costs,then againstinterest and then againstthe earliest liability. Cheques and bills of exchange shall only be accepted as means of payment. Any payment by bill of exchange shall be subject to a prior separate and written agreement, whereby all bill costs shall be borne by the customer and no discount can be granted. The customer shall have no right to refuse performance and no right of retention -- for any legal reason whatsoever -- unless we have acknowledged his claim beforehand in writing or his claim has the force of law. The customer shall only be entitled to set off claims which have the force of law, are undisputed or acknowledged by us in writing. 7. We shallretain title to the goods supplied by us until allour claims arising fromour business transactions with the customer have been satisfied -- current account clause -- and all bills of exchange or cheques submitted for payment by the customer have been honoured. Any treatmentor processing ofgoods subjectto our retention oftitle (reserved goods) shallbe carried out for us as the manufacturer in accordance with 950 BGB (German Civil Code) without any obligation on our part. If our reserved goods are to be regarded as the main item or the main item is owned by the customer, full title to the new item shall pass to us when it is created. In other cases,we shallacquire a co-ownership interestin the new itemin the proportion of the sales value of our reserved goods to the other goods used for the new item at the time of processing, intermingling, joining or mixing. The customer shall take custody of our ownership or co-ownership interest free of charge; it shall be treated as reserved goods. Before transfer of title, our goods shall be neither pledged nor assigned as collateral without our prior consent. In addition, any third party rights or pledges shall be notified to us immediately and we shall be given all details and provided all documents necessary for intervention; otherwise the customer must bear our loss. In the latter case, our total claims against the customer shall also be immediately payable. The customer shall be entitled to sell or to use our reserved goods in the ordinary course of business subject to the condition that the relevant claims are transferred in accordance with article 8 below. This right shall lapse upon the customers failure to promptly meet his payment obligations towards us or in the event of any cheque or bill protests or his suspension of payments. In such cases, we shall be entitled to take back the goods provisionally at the customers expense and to sellthematour duly exercised discretion after a corresponding reminder has been sentto the customer. We will then pass the due amount to the customers credit. 8. If our goods are sold before payment of our claim, the customer shall be obliged to retain our title against his purchaser until the goods have been paid for in full by the purchaser. The claim arising against the purchaser from such resale as well as any other ancillary rights or security interests of the customer resulting from the sale and any claims for compensation in case of damage to or destruction of our reserved property, including the relevant insurance sum shall hereby be assigned to us. We hereby accept this assignment. Where our co-ownership interest is sold, the relevant claims shall be assigned in the amount corresponding to the value of our interest. The customer shall, at our request, inform us of his purchasers, notify them of the assignment made and provide us with any and all documents required to assert our rights. As long as the customer meets his contractual obligations without delay, he shall be authorised to collect the claims assigned. He shall keep the amounts collected on our behalf separately and remit them to us immediately as soon and as far as our claims become due. The authorisation shall lapse in case of any cheque or bill protest of the customer or his definite suspension of payments. The customer shall bear the costs incurred for any action taken against third parties and shall advance them upon request. If the security provided to us by the retention of title and the anticipatory assignment should exceed the claims to be secured by more than 20%,we shall,atthe customers request,release paid supplies ofour choice.Upon paymentof all our claims by the customer, assigned claims shall pass to the customer. 9. Any complaints for obvious defects regarding the quantity or quality of our supplies and services that are identifiable upon careful inspection shall without delay, but at the latest within the period of limitation of eight days from arrival of the goods at the address of the customer or the person appointed by him,be notified in writing to us,not to our representatives. Slight deviations in dimensions and designs within the scope of defined technical tolerances shall not give rise to any right of complaint. Any rejected goods may only be returned to us with our prior written authorisation. In case of justified complaints within the prescribed period, we shall, at our option, take remedial action by way of subsequent performance, by rectifying the defect, supplying non-defective goods or providing a credit note for the lower value calculated. We shall be entitled to refuse subsequent performance in accordance with the statutory provisions. If we refuse subsequent performance, if any subsequent performance remains unsuccessful or if the customer cannot be reasonably expected to acceptany subsequentperformance, the latter shallbe entitled to withdraw from the contract in compliance with the provisions of the following sentences. The customer shall only be entitled to withdraw fromthe contract -- where a withdrawal is not excluded by law -- upon the unsuccessful expiry of a reasonable period for subsequent performance set by him, unless this period was not required under the statutory provisions ( 281 para. 2, 323 para. 2, 440, 441 para. 1 BGB (German Civil Code)). In case of his withdrawal, the customer shall be liable for any deterioration, destruction or loss of use resulting from any negligence or intent on his part. Any claims for damages or reimbursement of expenses of the customer shall be subject to the provisions set out in article 10. In the case of any fraudulent concealment of a defect or in the case of any provision of a quality guarantee for the goods sold at the time of the passing of risk within the meaning of 444 BGB (German Civil Code) (sellers declaration that the object sold has a specific property at the time of the passing of risk and that the seller, regardless of any fault on his part, intends to be answerable for any and all consequences resulting from its absence), the customers rights shall be exclusively governed by the statutory provisions. We shall -- in addition to the statutory grounds for refusal -- also be entitled to refuse subsequent performance if and as long as the customer fails to send us, at our request, the rejected goods or a sample thereof; the customer shall have no right of withdrawal for any such refusal. We may further refuse any subsequent performance if the goods concerned have been altered or modified without our consent unless the customer can prove that the defect was not caused by such alteration or modification. The limitation period for any claims arising from defects shall be one year;in the case ofgoods which have been used in accordance with their intended purpose for a building and have caused its defectiveness, the limitation period shall be two years. The provisions of 478, 479 BGB (German Civil Code) on recourse in the chain of suppliers shall not be affected thereby. 10. In the case ofa pre-contractual,contractual or non-contractual breach of duty,including unsatisfactory delivery, tortious conduct and producers liability, we shall only be liable for compensatory damages and reimbursement of expenses -- subject to further contractualor statutory liability requirements -- in the case of intent,gross negligence or slightly negligent breach of a material contractual duty (contractual duty the infringement of which jeopardises the fulfilment of the object of the contract). However -- except in the case of intent -- our liability shall be limited to the typicalcontractualdamage thatwas foreseeable at the time the contract was entered into.The purchaser shall notbe permitted to make a claim for expenses incurred in vain. Except for any breach of material duties, our liability for slight negligence shall be excluded, but in any case be limited to the amount of the purchase price. Any claim asserted by the customer or a third party for payment of a contractual penalty shall be excluded. With regard to damages caused by delay, we shall only be liable for slight negligence up to the amount of 5% of the purchase price agreed with us. The exclusions and limitations of liability set forth above shall not apply in the event that a guarantee is given with respect to the quality of the object sold within the meaning of 444 BGB (German Civil Code) if a defect is fraudulently concealed or in the event of injury to life, physical injury or injury to health, or strict liability under the German Product Liability Act. Any and all claims for damages against us,for any legal reason whatsoever, shallbecome statute-barred at the latest after one year from delivery of the goods to the customer, in the case of tortious liability from the time of knowledge, or grossly negligent ignorance, of the circumstances giving rise to the claim and the person liable to pay damages. This provision shall not apply in the case of liability for intent and in the event that a guarantee is given for the quality of the object sold, in the case of fraudulent concealment of a defect or in the event of injury to life, physical injury or injury to health, or strict liability under the German Product Liability Act. Any shorter limitation periods shall take precedence. 11. We shall be entitled to process and store any customer data obtained with regard to or in connection with the business relationship in accordance with the German Federal Data Protection Act,irrespective ofwhether such data is provided by the purchaser himself or by any third parties. 12. Place of performance for delivery and payment is Menden/Sauerland. The court of competent jurisdiction for any and alldisputes,including disputes with regard to bills ofexchange and cheques,is the Local Court(Amtsgericht) of Menden or, at our option, the District Court (Landgericht) of Arnsberg, irrespective of the value of the object in dispute. We shall, however, also be entitled to take legal proceedings against the customer at the place of his registered office. German law shall be exclusively applicable. The application of international purchase laws is hereby excluded. Should, for any reason whatsoever, individual provisions of our terms and conditions of sale and delivery be invalid, the validity and binding nature of the other provisions shall not be affected thereby. The customer agrees that the invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes as close as possible to the economic meaning of the invalid provision. 13. The prices of products made of brass and copper are subject to certain fluctuations that are based on the relevant DEL listings. The prices of our brass articles are based on a DEL listing of 150 for Ms 58, those of our copper products on a DEL value for electrolyte copper of 200. In case of any increase or reduction in these prices by more than 15, a five per cent surcharge or deduction shall be made for each 15 points. The calculation of any such surcharges or deductions shall be based on the DEL listing of the date of our receipt of the order. Valid from April 2002
