Lightning Protection
The LSC-7D connections should be electrically attached
Part of THE ALLTEC
® to the tower or the lightning protection system (LPS) down
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

metallic wire or metallic structure being monitored. Clean,
sand, or pierce as required.

power supply or internal battery for NOTE: No user serviceable parts inside. Do not loosen
