Thunderstorm detector P90040

electromagnetic

Description StorMonitor provides to users useful storm detection alert information in a detection radius up to 15 km which may be directly or indirectly dangerous to persons, equipment and to the environment. On average, these alarms provide a lightning strike warning time of 15 to 30 minutes to users. StorMonitor withstands twice the maximum value requested by standard EN 61000-4-4, as regards immunity to electromagnetic radiation. Installation and operation: StorMonitor includes two parts: 1. The antenna - Integrated in a polyester waterproof and shockproof case with UV protection coat. - May be installed inside or outside. - Contains an electromagnetic receiver. - Connected to the signal and lightning alert processing unit through a shielded cable. 2. The signal processing and lightning alert unit: - Integrated in a metal case - Processes the signal provided by the antenna through an analogue three-stage filtering system. - Extracts and identifies the main electromagnetic components that characterise lightning strikes in order to differentiate useful electromagnetic signals from interference signals. - Continuously displays the intensity of lightning strikes and stormy activity in real time on a bar graph and on 3 LEDs. - Activates a sound alarm (buzzer) when a pre-determined alert threshold has been reached and and activates the dry contact relay of the output SubD 9 connector. StorMonitors power supply should be protected against overvoltage. This protection must be ensured by a Type 2surge protection cabinet (In = 10 kA, Up < 2.5 kV - e.g.: Indelec P8516).
