Air Terminal. transmitter

Transcription

1 Air Terminal is a lightning rod combining the high protection performance of ESE (Early Streamer Emitter) technologies and the most innovative remote management solutions to ensure permanent protection of your LPS (Lightning Protection System) throughout the operating life of the Air Terminal. This connected device allow to facilitate and reduce maintenance cost by performing remote diagnostic, online monitoring & warning by in case of lightning strike event on your LPS. Contact@ir transmitter Contact@ir is a radio transmitter which allows testing remotely the ESE Terminal. Equipped with a photovoltaic cell "low light energy", Contactair needs only 3 hours of light per day to work 24h / 24 and perform 1 diagnostic every 100 seconds. This diagnosis is forwarded by radio frequency to Contact@ir System receiver which must be on site.

2 System System is a remote management solution developed by LPS France in order to support preventive and corrective maintenance operation on lightning protection system. This technology allows testing lightning rod remotely without climb on the roof anymore. This diagnostic report is forward on dedicated server to perform online monitoring and find all the information regarding LPS installation, products features and maintenance history. Contact@ir System allows warning in real time by alerts when your installation is struck by lightning. This information sent to final user and installer will support corrective action on the lightning protection system and ensure permanent protection.

3 ESE reliability 1 Ionization of Paraton@ir : The charger is designed to accumulate natural ions from the ground and drive them to the Central Inductive System. This accumulation happens in the same proportion as the increase of power of the ambient electric field. 2 - Paraton@ir creates an electric field on a tremendous scale: At the same time, the Central Inductive System, voltage Booster will concentrate ions to the harness head. Priming Poles will stimulate this process and allow creation of upward tracer which becomes the preferential impact point. 3 Harnessing and conduction by Paraton@ir : The priming system attracts the upward tracer and creates the lightning strike conditions. Then the harness tip leads the lightning current through its axis toward downconductors. Years of experiments and numerous tests in laboratory and in real-world lightning conditions were necessary to develop this air terminal. Paraton@ir is inspired by recent advances in understanding of lightning, electromagnetism, high voltage and fluid mechanics effects. An aluminium alloy and polymeric materials form the major part of the lightning rod. Without any fragile priming system, Paraton@ir have been designed to become the most reliable and sustainable product of the market. How the air terminal works?

4 Installation Air Terminal Thanks to its design and its compact size, is very convenient to set up and can hold in one hand making easier installation. A particular attention should be paid to its positioning regarding environment in order to ensure the maximum efficiency of lightning protection. Radius protection

5 Performance is available with a range of 4 different advance levels (Δt) measured in micro seconds (μs). P10 ; P25 ; P45 & P60 : Nota: An ESEAT is characterized by its efficiency ΔT which is proved in the evaluation test (see Annexe C). The maximum value for ΔT, whatever are the test results, is 60 μs.

Air terminal model = P60 (ΔT = 60μs) Δh =5m Level protection IV Radius protection 107 m NFC ed 2011 IEC UNE Nota: An outside protection against lightning with a lightning rod must be checked every year and after each lightning strike to ensure its good working order.

6 Protection level A lightning protection study must be carried out in order to define positioning and select the appropriate level of protection. The protection level selected (From I to IV) must consider the lightning map activity, the nature of the building (Commercial buildings, School, Chemical industry ) and its attendance (Private, public).
