Products Description
The ADAS Digital Lightning Strike Counter is designed to detect and record lightning discharge activity in external lightning protection systems. Installed on the down conductor of a lightning protection system, the device detects the discharge current generated during a lightning event and automatically records the strike count on its digital display.
The strike counter provides important information about whether a lightning protection installation has experienced a lightning strike. This helps facility and maintenance teams determine whether the lightning protection system requires additional inspection or verification beyond routine periodic maintenance.

How It Operates?
Usually, the digital strike counter is situated near ground level, right on the lightning protection system’s down conductor. The massive electrical current flows down the down conductor to the earth when a lightning strike is stopped by the air termination device, which is the lightning rod on the roof.
By identifying the magnetic field or voltage impulse produced by this high-current flow, the strike counter operates. Since it is a passive device, no external power source is needed. Rather, the lightning strike’s electricity powers it, activating its internal circuitry and increasing the digital display.
