The ThunderTracker Pro™: Advanced Digital Lightning Strike Counter

Monitor, Protect, and Analyze with Unrivaled Precision

Lightning strikes are a powerful and unpredictable force, capable of causing significant damage to infrastructure, electronic systems, and posing serious safety risks. The ThunderTracker Pro™ Digital Lightning Strike Counter provides an indispensable solution, offering real-time, accurate data on lightning activity affecting your critical assets.

Designed for unparalleled reliability and ease of use, the ThunderTracker Pro™ helps you maintain the integrity of your lightning protection systems, optimize maintenance schedules, and ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.

Key Features:

• High-Resolution Digital Display: Clear, easy-to-read 6-digit LCD shows cumulative strike count, ensuring instant data access.
• Non-Contact Inductive Sensing: Accurately detects direct lightning current on down conductors without physical contact, ensuring maximum safety and simplified installation.
• Wide Detection Range: Reliably registers strikes from a minimum discharge current of 1 kA up to 200 kA, covering a broad spectrum of lightning event intensities.
• Rapid Response Time: Captures strikes with a response time of less than 1 microsecond, ensuring no event goes unrecorded.
• Self-Powered Operation: Equipped with a long-life internal lithium battery (typically 10+ years), eliminating the need for external power sources or frequent battery replacements.
• Robust & Weatherproof Design: Housed in a durable, UV-resistant, IP67-rated enclosure, providing exceptional protection against dust, water, and extreme weather conditions (-40°C to +85°C).
• Easy Clamp-On Installation: Designed for quick and secure mounting directly onto standard down conductors (e.g., flat bar, round cable, tape) without interrupting the system.
• Resettable (Optional): Some models offer a resettable counter for periodic monitoring or annual inspection cycles. (Specify if your model has this, otherwise remove.)
• Zero Power Consumption in Standby: Maximizes battery life by only consuming power during a strike event.
