LPI® Lightning Strike Recorder LSR2 and LSR-MAX
LPI® Lightning Strike Recorder LSR2
Product Description
LPI® Lightning Strike Recorder (LSR2) is a lightning event counter. The LSR2 is simply mounted at any location along the down-conductor route. Its purpose is to record the number of lightning strikes captured by the lightning air terminal and conveyed by the down-conductor.
The LSR2 operates by sensing current by means of an inductive pick up loop. The loop passes along the inside surface of the bottom of the enclosure. This loop detects lightning current impulses on the down-conductor and sends a trigger to the counter, which turns the counter over to register the event. The Recorder is mounted in a polycarbonate enclosure rated IP 65.
Standard Features
• 7 Digits
• Up to 9,999,999 counts
• Testable using LSR-Tester
LPI® Lightning Strike Recorder LSR-MAX (Bluetooth)
Product Description
LPI® Lightning Strike Recorder (LSR-MAX) is a lightning event counter (Figure 1). The LSR-MAX is simply mounted at any location along the down-conductor route. Its purpose is to record the number of lightning strikes captured by the lightning air terminal and conveyed by the down-conductor. It is not recommended for installation in earth pits, nor submerged in water.
The LSR-MAX operates by sensing current by means of an inductive pick-up loop. This loop detects lightning current impulses on the down-conductor, and these are recorded by the internal circuitry, with the results stored in non-volatile memory.
Recorded event data can be accessed and downloaded wirelessly via a smart device using the LPI App. The LSR-MAX will count up to 195,000 separate events, but only stores the full event data for up to 250 events. Once this limit is reached, the LSR-MAX will start to over-write the oldest sets of event data first.
Data recorded for each event include:
• date and time of the event. This is recorded in UTC time.
• intensity of the current strike, recorded as Small (< 20kA), Medium (< 60kA) and Large (> 60kA).
• total number of events detected
Standard Features
• Records more than 195,000 separate events
• Measures and records date/time and peak current for each event up to a maximum 250 events
• Instant validation of genuine LPI product
• Event data and battery status easily viewable and downloadable via the LPI App on any smart device
• 10+ year battery life
• All event data stored in non-volatile memory
