electric field monitor

1、electric field monitor Product Overview

electric field monitor provides highly accurate short-range lightning strike detection for use in lightning warning applications and research applications measuring local electric fields.electric field monitor is a fully digital electric field detection and lightning early warning platform. Its core electric field sensing mechanism is developed using MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology based on the principle of charge induction; it eliminates the need for motors or other movable mechanical parts prone to wear and tear, offering significant advantages such as compact size, low power consumption, high reliability, and ease of integration. The system employs an optimized lightning warning algorithm that combines electric field differentiation with threshold-based logic. Compared to conventional threshold-only methods, this approach effectively minimizes false alarms caused by environmental factors—such as rain, strong winds, snow, or airborne dust—thereby enhancing warning accuracy. Featuring precise detection, easy networking, and simple installation, the system is designed to meet the needs for atmospheric electric field monitoring and localized, short-term lightning warnings across sectors including aerospace and defense, meteorology, the petroleum and petrochemical industries, power grids, scenic areas, mining operations, oil depots, and military facilities.

5、electric field monitor Installation Precautions

1. The lightning warning probe should be installed during clear weather.

2. The lightning warning probe should be installed outdoors in an unobstructed location, free from surrounding obstacles.

3. Do not install the probe near generator exhaust outlets, utility poles, or high-voltage power lines.

4. Under certain conditions—such as proximity to ground protrusions, antenna masts, or other equipment—the electric field strength and associated test data may be subject to interference.

5. For wired configurations, the cable length between the outdoor electric field probe and the indoor main unit should not exceed 100 meters.

6. The equipment must be properly grounded during operation.

7. Please contact the company for further details.

8. Specifications are subject to change without prior notice; the company reserves the right of final technical interpretation.

6、electric field monitor Installation Steps

1. Remove the complete electric field monitor from the packaging.

2. Secure the mounting bracket to the designated location using bolts.

3. Connect the grounding wire to the lightning rod tip (optional); route the other end of the wire through the interior of the bracket and out via the bottom opening. After installing the grounding electrode and other grounding components, connect the lightning rod's grounding wire to the system.

4. Route the atmospheric electric field sensor probe through the interior of the bracket and out via the middle opening; connect it to the main control unit, plugging it into the port labeled "Sensor" on the internal data acquisition module.

5. Connect the battery to the photovoltaic (PV) controller.

6. Mount the solar panel onto the bracket.

7. Connect the solar panel wiring to the PV controller, matching the wire colors correctly.

8. Install the indoor linked alarm control box: connect the power adapter (DC input) and the signal cable (blue connector, aligning the keyed slots) for the tri-color audible and visual alarm unit.

9. Contact after-sales service with the device ID number found on the equipment enclosure to obtain login credentials.

10. Open a web browser (such as Google Chrome or Huawei Browser) on your computer, log in to the cloud platform, and view the data.
