SG000

Strike Guard Lightning Sensor

The SG000 Strike Guard is be used with the CS110 Electric Field meter to provide a complete lightning-threat measurement and analysis system. The SG000 is an optical-coincidence lightning sensor that detects cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning within a 20-mile radius. Strike information is classified in three range categories as lightning detected within 5 miles, 10 miles, and 20 miles. The optical-coincidence approach requires a characteristic optical signal to coincide with a characteristic magnetic-field-change signal to report lightning.


Specifications

To connect the SG000 to the CS110 requires the FC100, the 14291 Field Power Cable, the FC100CBL1-L (typically 10+ feet) and either of the following depending on which CS110 port it is to connect to:

  • CSIO Port:
    • CS110CBL2-L (typically 9 feet)
    • SC932A
    • 16987 Peripheral Mtg kit
  • RS232 Port:
    • CS110CBL1-L (typically 9 feet)
