LSC-7D

Lightning Strike Counter


Installation Instruction

Installation
Lightning Protection
The LSC-7D connections should be electrically attached

PROTECTION PYRAMID
conductor using 14 AWG (2.5mm2) insulated wire and be
separated by approximately 8.0 ft (2.4m). The inductive
voltage drop due to a lightning strike will actuate the counter.
A log should be kept to record the date and counter reading.
To test your counter, voltage may be momentarily applied
using a 9V battery in either polarity to actuate the circuit.
The LSC-7D requires a 0.5 μH inductance shunt
L E V E L : Lightning Protection (approximately 8.0 ft conductor length) to count nature’s
smallest lightning strike (3 kA). This inductance can be in the
form of a wire length, tower, or pipe segment. To calculate,
F U N C T I O N : Monitoring Lightning use the following approximations:
Strikes assists in determining the need for
additional security such as grounding, surge • 0.3 μH per foot per wire
suppression and lightning protection. • 0.067 μH per foot for triangular tower leg
• 0.150 μH per foot for >/= 6” pipe
The LSC-7D connection must be in direct contact with the
