Compt@irLightning Strike Counter – Impact Detector
The "made in France" counter:
The Compt@irlightning strike counter displays the total number of strikes hitting the lightning rod installation on its front-panel digital display. Each time a lightning strike is detected, it automatically increments the display by one. The rightmost digit adjusts accordingly. This display operates on a battery that is factory-replaceable approximately every 10 years.
However, battery depletion does not affect the impact measurement system in the counter. Equipped with a Contact@irMD or Contact@irtransmitter (with Rout@ir), the Compt@irfunctions like an Alert@ir XT®. Its technology allows it to detect both positive and negative lightning strikes. Finally, we manufacture the Compt@irin our workshops in France.
Its universal installation:
The Compt@irlightning strike counter is installed in series on a lightning down conductor, approximately 2 meters above the ground, without needing to cut the conductor. It is typically installed above the inspection joint, where its angled screen facilitates reading. Thanks to its universal mounting brackets, this counter adapts to and works with all types of existing conductors, whether flat, round, etc. Its innovative technology allows it to detect both positive and negative lightning strikes. Finally, our Compt@irlightning strike counters are not only waterproof, robust, and reliable; they also comply with current standards, such as NFC 17-102:2011 and NF EN 50164-6, thus guaranteeing full compliance and maximum reliability.
Its usefulness for maintenance:
Regular monitoring of the display is necessary for proper tracking of the lightning protection system. The lightning strike counter is essential for the proper maintenance of the lightning protection system (see NFC 17-102:2011: perform a check after each lightning strike).
This regular monitoring is optional. Indeed, our range of transmitters and receivers Contact@ir® System It sends a real-time alert for every detected lightning strike. Our strike counter detects the lightning current on any lightning rod conductor and measures it (in kA). Furthermore, we record the timestamp of each strike.
In conclusion, the Compt@iris indispensable and its function/price ratio is very advantageous since it becomes a record of past lightning events. If you purchase it with a communication solution Contact@ir® SystemThen the lightning strike counter becomes the monitor of your installation. Receive real-time information on LPS Manager.
