SKYSCAN EWS-PRO2 Lightning Detector
Introducing the Skyscan EWS-PRO2 , a high quality self contained and well featured portable Lightning Detection instrument that can detect “Cloud to Ground” lightning strikes from up to 60 kms away, and which has the capability to provide a forewarning to approaching severe weather conditions, and which can assist in the determinations for the suspension and resumption of
safe workplace operations.
The EWS-PRO2 uses specialized technology which samples and analyzes selected pairs of frequencies within a specific electromagnetic spectrum of each “Cloud to Ground” lightning stroke, and by analysing the frequency and amplitude of the lightning waveforms, it can compute the distance to the detected threat to within one of four default ranges, by whch trigger action response procedures (TARP) can be based.
The EWS-PRO2 is an “Instant Ranging Device” (IRD), meaning that every detected “Cloud to Ground” lightning strike is ranged immediately and then notified by the illumination of four (4) the correseponding color coded distance LED’s, and a 105 dB audible horn that can be heard in workplaces with high background noise.
The Skyscan EWS -PRO2 is well suited to remote area workforce safety as it is provided with an internal sealed lead acid rechargeable battery along with an intelligent battery recharging system that can operate for 7+ days on a single charge.
Any portable lightning detector must only be used under the strict guidance of a considered use policy and procedure that outlines those steps that need to be taken to ensure that a predetermined safe shelter is sought, whenever thunderstorms are considered local.
Users must be mindful that no technology can predict if, when or where lightning will strike, and that the equipment is not able to detect “cloud to cloud” lightning activity which may preceed and /or accompany cloud to ground lightning activity.
If and where required, Lightningman can assist organisations with their selection and vetting of the most appropriate threat detection technology most suited to their operations, and can assist in the development of Lightning Management Plans, and Safe Working Procedures surrounding the use of threat detection and lightning safety.
