Description
High accuracy detection
The BTD-300 detects with high accuracy and reliability all forms of lightning strikes within a radius of up to 83 Km, including cloud-to-ground, cloud-to-cloud and intra-cloud. The electrostatic operating principle gives the detector an extremely low false alarm rate and the ability to warn of the risk of overhead lightning even before the first electrical discharge.
Easy to use and integrate
The BTD-300 can be used as a standalone detector or as part of a complete weather monitoring system. For standalone use, a comprehensive software application is supplied, which provides all the required features such as sensor configuration, real-time data visualization and data logging. For integration into a weather monitoring system, the detector can be supplied either with a RS-422 serial port or an Ethernet port, both providing an ASCII output string for easy data processing. The detector is virtually maintenance-free in operation.
Alarm module (optional)
The alarm module allows activating external devices based on the alarms programmed on the BTD-300. Three relays are provided to cover the caution, warning and alert status of the detector.
