DL EOLOS K15FO Series
High bandwidth lightning counters with fibre optics output.
DL EOLOS K15FO high bandwidth lightning counters are devices with a compact and robust design. These counters have a high-bandwidth operational band, optimised for detecting all lightning discharge types that occur in most common installations, communications towers and wind turbines.
DLEOLOS K15FO series lightning counters have a fibre optics output for notifying lightning impact detections. The output signal generated by the lightning counter can be received by DL EOLOS FO-RCVR-DIN series receivers.
The lightning counter detects the lightning current impulse in the down conductor when it is conducted to ground by the lightning protection system. Detected lightning strikes are reported as events in the optical fibre output and, at the same time, accounted in one mechanical counter.
These counters harvest all necessary energy from the lightning strike current impulse without any need for batteries, external power sources or moving parts.
The high bandwidth magnetic sensor used in DL EOLOS K15FO series counters ensures a contact-free installation and a maintenance free operation.
- Great registration capacity.
- Permanently visible registered events count.
- High detection sensitivity, ranging from 0,18kA, with a high bandwidth that allows to detect lightning impacts in common installations, telecommunications towers, elevated structures, and wind turbines.
- Direct attachment to wind turbine blades with adhesive.
- An accessory for fixing to walls and other structures is also available.
- Does not require external power or batteries for operation, maintenance free operation.
- Contactless installation, no ohmic contact with the down conductor.
- Great durability with IP65 ingress protection grade.
- According to standards UNE 21.186, NFC 17.102 and IEC 62.305.
- Immediate impact detections notification.
FIBRE OPTICS RECEIVERS FOR THE DL EOLOS K15FO HIGH BANDWIDTH LIGHTNING COUNTERS
DL EOLOS FORCVR-DIN series
Fibre optics receivers for receiving lightning detection notifications sent by DL EOLOS K15FO series high bandwidth lightning counters.
Fibre optics receivers from the DL EOLOS RCVR-DIN series allow to receive the lightning detection notification signals sent by up to three DL EOLOS K15FO series high bandwidth lightning counters. These devices have been designed for installation on DIN rail in electric cabinets.
The DL EOLOS RCVR-DIN series fibre optics receivers can send the lightning detection notifications to programmable logic controllers (PLC), Scada and other automation devices
DL EOLOS FORCVR-DIN series fibre optics receivers support up to three fibre optic inputs and up to three relay outputs, each one associated to one input. These devices receive the notification signals sent by DL EOLOS K15FO series lightning counters and produce a programmable-width output pulse in the relay output.
The DL EOLOS FORCVR-DIN receiver provides a set of counter registers which are updated when lightning detection notifications are received. These registers can be read through the device’s Modbus RTU over RS485 interface.
- Two models available, with one or three fibre optics inputs.
- Galvanically isolated, normally open contact relay outputs.
- Relays operation in normal or inverted logic.
- Vibration resistant connectors.
- Installation in standard 35 mm DIN rail.
- Operation and connection states indication LED.
