Product Description
The company manufactures Lightning Strike Recorder in its technologically-advanced production facility for prestigious clients spread countrywide. This device can be used for maintaining record of every direct lightning strike on the external lightning protection system. The recorded impacts count can be read on the digital display (6 digits). The counting and recording of lightning discharges do not require any external power supply, as it works on electromagnetic impulse coupling. The lightning strike recorder (LSR1) can be used outdoors, given to its non-resettable type in an IP 67 enclosure.
Features of Lightning Strike Recorder LSR-2:
- The LSR1 is operational for many years following its installation and commissioning
- It has a sturdy design
- Throughout its life, it performs impeccably
- The functionality is unmatched
Installation:The lightning strike counter is mounted on the down-conductor making use of two flanges situated on the back face. The down conductor doesn't has to interrupt, which allows an electrical continuity of the installation down from the rod to earthing system. Lightning current is recorded by the counter by induction when it passes to the down conductor. It quickly detects and records impacts of lightning that occurs over an lightning protection system installed outdoors.

Its compact and lightweight design (80 x 80 x 56 mm, 275g) allows for convenient wall or panel mounting in a range of settings, supporting both indoor and outdoor use.
Precision and Permanence in Strike RecordingEquipped with an electromechanical inductive pickup, the LSR-2 delivers high accuracy (1 event) for current impulses from 2kA to 200kA (8/20 s). The mechanical 7-digit LCD counter provides a permanent, tamper-proof recordunaffected by power failureand can be easily reset when needed with the included magnetic key.
Effortless UseNo Maintenance RequiredDesigned for straightforward deployment, the LSR-2 operates without batteries, ongoing maintenance, or power supply concerns. Its self-powered mechanism captures lightning strike events instantly and reliably, making it ideal for critical lightning protection systems in industrial facilities, infrastructure, and outdoor installations.
FAQs of Lightning Strike Recorder LSR-2:
Q: How does the LSR-2 Lightning Strike Recorder operate and record strikes?
A: The LSR-2 operates using an electromechanical inductive pickup that instantly registers current impulses between 2kA and 200kA. Each lightning event is automatically logged onto a mechanical 7-digit LCD counter, providing a reliable and permanent record.
Q: Where can the LSR-2 be installed for optimal performance?
A: This recorder is designed for wall or panel mounting and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Its IP65-rated enclosure protects it from dust and water, allowing installation on buildings, substations, or critical lightning protection systems.
Q: What steps are involved in resetting the recorded strike count?
A: Resetting the LSR-2 is straightforwardsimply use the supplied magnetic key to reset the mechanical counter. No electrical intervention or battery replacement is required, and reset access is controlled to ensure data integrity.
Q: What are the benefits of using the LSR-2 for lightning protection systems?
A: The main benefits include high accuracy (1 event), permanent data retention, no need for routine maintenance or batteries, rapid response time, and compliance with IEC 62561-6 standards. This ensures reliable event monitoring and simplified maintenance protocols.
Q: When is routine maintenance needed for the LSR-2?
A: No regular maintenance is required for this device. It is engineered to function reliably over its service life without the need for inspections or upkeep, thanks to its robust design and absence of consumable components.
Q: What protection does the IP65 polycarbonate enclosure offer?
A: The IP65-rated polycarbonate enclosure shields the LSR-2 from dust, water ingress, harsh weather, and UV radiation, ensuring dependable operation even in demanding industrial and outdoor environments.
