Lightning strike counter DL-EOLOS K15FO Series

electromechanicalindustrialIP65

DL EOLOS K15FO high bandwidth lightning counters are devices with a compact and robust design. These counters have a high-bandwidth operational band, optimised for detecting all lightning discharge types that occur in most common installations, communications towers and wind turbines. Characteristics DLEOLOS K15FO series lightning counters have a fibre optics output for notifying lightning impact detections. The output signal generated by the lightning counter can be received by DL EOLOS FO-RCVR-DIN series receivers. The lightning counter detects the lightning current impulse in the down conductor when it is conducted to ground by the lightning protection system. Detected lightning strikes are reported as events in the optical fibre output and, at the same time, accounted in one mechanical counter. These counters harvest all necessary energy from the lightning strike current impulse without any need for batteries, external power sources or moving parts. The high bandwidth magnetic sensor used in DL EOLOS K15FO series counters ensures a contact-free installation and a maintenance free operation. • Great registration capacity. • Permanently visible registered events count. • High detection sensitivity, ranging from 0,18kA, with a high bandwidth that allows to detect lightning impacts in common installations, telecommunications towers, elevated structures, and wind turbines. • Direct attachment to wind turbine blades with adhesive. • An accessory for fixing to walls and other structures is also available. • Does not require external power or batteries for operation, maintenance free operation.
