2CTH0CCF2004 - Mechanical Lightning Strike Counter
The HELITA lightning strike counter is a device used to measure and record the number of lightning strikes an installation has experienced. This type of counter is essential for maintenance management and monitoring of lightning protection systems, particularly in lightning rods and other safety devices.
Description
Main Features:
Lightning Strike Measurement: The HELITA lightning strike counter is designed to detect the electrical impulses generated by a lightning strike hitting a protected installation. When a lightning bolt strikes a lightning rod or another protection device, the counter records the event. This allows users to know the exact number of times their protection system has been subjected to a strike.
Use in Lightning Rods: This counter is often integrated into HELITA lightning rod systems, such as the Pulsar models or other types of active lightning rods. It provides information on the frequency of lightning strikes, helping to better assess the protection’s effectiveness and identify when inspection or replacement of the protection system is necessary.
Advanced Technology: The counter uses electronic sensors to detect electrical variations induced by lightning strikes. It can be configured to record events such as the date and time of each strike, enabling precise incident analysis.
Display and Alarms: Some HELITA lightning counters are equipped with a digital display or alert system to signal the occurrence of each lightning strike. This system can notify users when the number of strikes reaches a critical threshold, indicating that the protection system needs to be inspected.
Preventive Maintenance: By providing data on the frequency of lightning impacts, the counter allows for scheduling regular inspections and maintenance of protection systems. This helps prevent equipment failures and ensures continuous protection against lightning risks.
Reliability and Accuracy: HELITA counters are designed to be reliable even in harsh industrial or outdoor environments. Their accuracy ensures users can trust the collected data to optimize their maintenance strategies and improve safety.
Benefits of a Lightning Strike Counter:
Continuous Monitoring: Enables real-time tracking of the protection system’s effectiveness.
Proactive Maintenance Management: By monitoring the number of strikes, users can plan necessary actions to maintain optimal protection.
Improved Safety: Increased monitoring of lightning strikes allows quick reaction to any protection system issues, minimizing risks to equipment and structures.
Data Analysis: Collected data can be used to analyze lightning strike trends in a given area and assess overall protection system performance.
In summary, the HELITA lightning strike counter is a valuable tool for ensuring effective lightning protection. It enables proactive management of protection systems, giving users better visibility into the status of their installations and facilitating maintenance operations.
