BTD-300 Thunderstorm Lightning Monitoring Instrument

The latest product launched by Laibixin CompanyBiral BTD-300Thunderstorm monitoring device, single point installation, reliable monitoring83kmVarious forms of lightning within the range. The unique quasi-static working principle ensures extremely high warning accuracy and minimizes false alarm rates to the greatest extent possible.

The BTD-300 Thunderstorm Lightning Monitor effectively detects cloud cloud and cloud ground lightning. Its reliable detection and ranging capabilities (especially for monitoring cloud cloud lightning, which is much more common than cloud ground lightning) are much more sensitive than other devices that use radio principles. Due to the fact that cloud cloud lightning often arrives before cloud ground lightning, effective prediction of cloud cloud lightning can better help users avoid lightning hazards.

The BTD-300 thunderstorm monitor operates on the principle of quasi-static electricity and can detect charged precipitation and strong electrostatic fields, both of which are signs of lightning occurrence. Based on this, the danger of overhead lightning can be alerted before the first discharge.

By monitoring the electrostatic field at extremely low frequencies instead of using radio channels, the BTD-300 thunderstorm lightning monitoring instrument is almost immune to electromagnetic interference, which is the main reason for false alarms in other lightning locators based on wireless working principles.

The BTD-300 Thunderstorm Lightning Monitor is maintenance free and can be directly connected to the integrated system through an interface or compatible with display and recording software on a PC. The optional warning relay module supports automatic warning when a storm arrives.
