- Feature
Lightning Warning System LWS MK-II is a non-directional local warning instrument designed to provide early warning
of an approaching storm front that contains lightning discharges. It has been designed to provide protection
for personnel and equipments.
Early warning of lightning in close proximity allows appropriate safety precautions to be implemented by those
involved in a diverse range of activities, mining, construction, quarrying, seismic surveying, oil and gas exploration,
oil and gas production, ship loading, where explosives are being used and for those engaged in outdoor recreational
activities like golf or soccer.
Lightning Warning System is microprocessor controlled which provides concise easily understood alarms;
it provides an alarm situation when the internal analysis of prevailing conditions indicates the approach of lightning.
The system antenna senses alterations in the electric field strength and also detects both near and far lightning
discharges. An alarm is triggered when either the static field changes or when a far or nearby lightning discharge
is detected. Two levels of alarm status are provided by the system.
