Category: Thunderstorm / Lightning Detectors

The ability to reliably detect and range cloud-to-cloud lightning, which is typically much more common than cloud-to-ground strikes, makes the BTD-300 much more sensitive to the presence of storms compared to devices that rely on radio detection. An electrostatic operating principle allows the sensor to warn of the risk of overhead lightning before the first discharge occurs.

Virtually maintenance free in operation, the BTD-300 can either interface directly to an integrated system or be operated using the supplied PC compatible display and logging software. There is an optional warning relay module allows the sensor to automatically sound alarms whenever a storm approaches.

The BTD-300 can be configured for either Ethernet or RS422 serial communication. The data is output as an ASCII coded data string for easy integration with other data processing systems. For standalone use a comprehensive PC compatible software application is supplied which provides data visualisation, sensor control and data logging.

A relay output module is available to allow the direct switching of warning devices such as sounders and beacons. Three relays are provided to cover the warning and alert status of the sensor.
