This Lightning Detector is a high-precision, standalone lightning detection system that utilizes a quasi-electrostatic operating principle to detect and range lightning events. It is designed to meet FAA, EN50536, and IEC 62793 performance requirements, offering reliability and low false alarm rates.

Detection Capabilities:

Detects cloud-to-ground, cloud-to-cloud, and intra-cloud lightning within an 83 km (51-mile) radius.

Offers warnings of overhead lightning risk even before the first strike, based on atmospheric electric field monitoring and charged precipitation detection.

High-Accuracy Detection: Monitors lightning activity within 38 km, giving timely awareness of approaching storms.

No Onsite Monitoring Required: Fully automatic operation with configurable alert rules.
