Product Description
Our firm has gained a huge appreciation in dealing a wide array of LPI Lightning Strike Recorder. It is made with a solid construction and latest machinery. This recorder is ideally used to track the evidence of the number of strikes captured by the lightning air terminal. Apart from this, provided recorder is easy to conveyed by the down conductor. LPI Lightning Strike Recorder is easy to mount at any particular area.
Specifications:
Lightning strike recorder must be accompanied with every protection system. The mechanical type LPI lightning strike recorder must be non-resettable with 7 digits. No battery is incorporated, as we can not rely on the battery life. Unreliable battery life is the reason LCD screen is not permitted. The job of LPI lightning strike recorder is to activate one count in the register for every discharge where the peak current goes over 1500A at the 8/20 micro second waveform and a maximum of 220 KA. This robust and easy to install device has a counter which is driven by the energy of the lightning discharge and requires no external or battery power to operate. It must be tested to ensure its compliance to IEC 60-1:1989 standard in line with the lightning arrester for a impulse current of over 450 KA (8/20 micro second). Manufacturers instructions must be followed during installation. It must be installed 2 mtrs above the ground to simplify the task of taking reading at regular intervals.

FAQs of LPI Lightning Strike Recorder:
Q: How does the LPI Lightning Strike Recorder detect lightning events?
A: The device detects and counts lightning strikes by monitoring currents passing through down conductors within a range of 20 kA to 100 kA, using highly accurate sensors to ensure greater than 99% event detection.
Q: What is the primary benefit of using this lightning event counter?
A: Its main benefit is precise tracking of lightning strikes, providing critical data for maintenance and reliability assessments of your lightning protection system, thereby enhancing overall safety.
Q: When should the recorder be installed in a lightning protection system?
A: It is best installed during the setup of your lightning protection system or during maintenance, ideally positioned along the main down conductor for optimal event detection.
Q: Where can the LPI Lightning Strike Recorder be used?
A: This device is suitable for use on various structures in both commercial and industrial settings where lightning protection systems with down conductors are present, and where reliable detection and recording is essential.
Q: What is the typical process for checking recorded lightning events?
A: To review logged strike events, simply access the devices event counter, which displays the cumulative number of lightning strikes detected since installation, helping inform maintenance schedules.
Q: How long does the battery last in the lightning recorder?
A: The recorder uses a lithium battery designed to last up to 10 years, ensuring continuous, maintenance-free operation over extended periods.
