Lightning Detection and Protection System

                                                            Latest Firmware Version: 7.15  (Reduces Data Disconnects)

Lightning Detection & Automatic Station Protection System 

This advanced Lightning Detection Protection system is designed to safeguard your radio equipment before lightning ever becomes a problem. 

The system continuously monitors lightning activity worldwide via the internet (WiFi Connected). Once you set your geographic location and define a detection radius, the unit automatically watches for lightning strikes within those parameters—24/7.

If lightning is detected inside your selected radius, the system immediately disconnects  four coaxial lines from your shack, physically isolating your equipment from potential damage. At the same time, it provides a transmit-disable signal, ensuring your station cannot transmit while the coax lines are disconnected.

The system remains in a protected state until zero lightning strikes have occurred within your defined radius for the delay period you configure. Once conditions are clear, the unit automatically reconnects the coax lines and restores normal operation—no manual intervention required. 

You’ll also receive email notifications when lightning is detected, when your equipment is disconnected, and when the system safely reconnects.

If LPS looses WiFi connection for 8 minutes continuously, it will disconnect the four coaxes from your station.  The disconnect will remain until WiFi communication is restore

This makes it an ideal solution for remote stations, unattended operations, and high-value equipment, offering peace of mind and fully automated lightning protection.
