Lightning Warning System
The BTD-200 is a complete detection and warning system which has been developed from the Biral range of professional aviation grade lightning detection systems . Its proven detection technology reliably detects the presence of all forms of lightning out to a rage of 35km ( 22 miles ) from the sensor .
It is a modular system which is designed to operate out-of-the-box , but is also expandable as requirements grow or change . The essential system comprises a lightning detector which is placed outside , either on its tripod mount or permanently installed , whilst a PC located indoors runs the supplied Lightning Works software .
The system includes a power supply and ( optionally ) the cabling to connect to the power and the host PC . Biral Unit 8 Harbour Road Trading Estate , Portishead Bristol BS20 7BL United Kingdom + 44 ( 0 ) 1275 847 787 info @ lightningearlywarning . com
