In today's world, where technology plays a crucial role, safety against natural disasters such as lightning and direct strikes has become a priority. In this regard, the Alert@ir XT® system is a remarkable innovation. This device is designed to be placed on a grounding conductor of a lightning protection system. It is a true connected lightning strike counter.
The primary role of theAlert@ir XT® is to send a real-time alert via the internet when a lightning strike occurs. This functionality is made possible by our range of Contact@irSystem transmitters and receivers. Therefore, if lightning strikes one of your installations, the system immediately triggers an alert.
What distinguishes Alert@ir XT® is its ability to measure the intensity of the lightning strike on a scale of 1 to 3. Because this crucial information allows users to determine the type of verification needed, the degree of urgency of intervention and to organize the appropriate maintenance to preserve the protected structures.
In accordance with standard NFC 17-102, a check of your lightning protection system is required after each lightning strike (art. 8.2). This requirement ensures the continued effectiveness of your protection system. The alert provided by Alert@ir XT® is therefore an important signal for verifying the integrity and proper functioning of your system.
To facilitate monitoring, users can access information about their installation via the LPS Manager application. These tools are part of the Contact@irReady range, offering a comprehensive and accessible solution for lightning protection management.
In short, theAlert@ir XT® represents a significant advancement in lightning strike safety management. Indeed, its ability to provide real-time alerts and precise measurements of strike intensity makes this system an indispensable tool for protecting and maintaining structures against weather hazards.
