Editing a LPS
Mesh sizes often cannot be kept and air-termination sys-
tems have to be adapted to local conditions. The following
changes can be made in the DEHN Distance Tool:

• inserting ring conductors
• adding down conductors
• inserting internal down conductors
• inserting air-termination rods
• inserting or deleting air-termination conductors and
down conductors
• shifting air-termination conductors and down
conductors
• shifting or raising the zero potential level
• inserting measuring points
• inserting points of strike
• inserting texts and notes
