Presentation of DTfoudre
The system is made of a reception antenna (green pyramid) and a control unit connected by a screening cable.

Operating features of DTfoudre
The reception antenna is installed on a pole.
It measures the level of electromagnetic disturbance generated by lightning within a radius of 5 to 10 kms.
The control unit indicates the disturbance level on a bargraph.
It allows the setting of two alarm thresholds.
When the level of disturbance exceeds a threshold, the alarm is transmitted by a relay, a flashing display and a buzzer sound.


ISOLMAX : wide gap isolating switch
Activated by the DTfoudre, the ISOLMAX avoids the lightning-arch phenomenon that occurs between the contacts of a standard power relay during high voltage surges (> 4000 V) and therefore provides efficient protection.
