TEKSAI Lightning Strike Counter
Track Real-Time Strike Events for Safety & Maintenance | Battery-Free | Resettable Counter | Weatherproof Design
Real-Time Lightning Strike Monitoring
The TEKSAI Lightning Strike Counter is a non-powered, electro-mechanical device that records the number of lightning strikes captured by your lightning protection system. Installed directly on the down conductor, it provides real-time data for maintenance scheduling, safety audits, and strike frequency analysis.
This innovative device operates entirely without batteries or external power sources, making it ideal for remote installations and maintenance-free operation. The counter mechanism is triggered by the electromagnetic field generated during a lightning strike, ensuring accurate recording without any electrical connections.
Designed for long-term reliability, the TEKSAI Lightning Strike Counter features a resettable counter mechanism (0-999 count range) and weatherproof housing that withstands harsh outdoor conditions. Perfect for integration with TEKSO PREVENT conventional lightning protection systems and other lightning protection installations.
