Functions

Lightning strike counting – records each lightning current impulse, allowing monitoring of system load
Visual indication – mechanical counter enables easy reading of impulse count without additional equipment
Autonomous operation – no power supply required, operates only from lightning current impulse
Wide measurement range – records impulses from 1 kA to 100 kA, suitable for both weak and strong discharges
Environmental resistance – IP65 protection allows use both outdoors and indoors
Durability – mechanical construction ensures reliable long-term operation without maintenance

Usage

For household users: Allows understanding whether lightning protection has actually operated, helps assess risk after storms, useful for private houses or cottages
For engineers / designers: Provides real data on lightning strike frequency, helps analyze protection system efficiency, used in project supervision and auditing
For electricians: Easy installation on conductor, reliable solution without additional wiring or power, minimal maintenance after installation
For industrial facilities
Critical infrastructure (factories, warehouses, energy sector): Helps ensure safety control and documentation, relevant for insurance and maintenance purposes
