The Furse ESP LSC lightning strike counter detects and counts lightning strikes (to IEC/BS EN 62561-6) as part of a structure’s Lightning Protection System (LPS).
Features & Benefits
- Virtually maintenance-free, with all key components stored in a robust weatherproof (IP65) housing.
- Anticipated battery design life up to 4 years, for reliable, long-standing performance.
- Straightforward mounting around down conductors utilising the mounting plate and screws without the need to remove the down conductor.
Application
The ESP LSC unit is typically located on the down conductors of the LPS to record the number of direct lightning strokes received by the structure.
The ESP LSC unit also records the event’s date and time, which are displayed on the LCD screen.
Installation
Connect the counter to the conductor using the provided mounting plate and screws. Mounting plates are provided for both flat tape and circular conductors.
For simplicity of installation, particularly on existing installations, the ESP LSC unit is best sited in a suitable position above the test clamp of the down conductor (for convenient periodic inspection). The test clamp point is where the conductor can be easily disconnected.
Ensure the conductor is reconnected to the test clamp after installation of the ESP LSC unit.
