Detailed Technical Explanation

The DEHN Lightning Strike Counter is an essential diagnostic instrument for facility managers, safety engineers, and maintenance teams. Mounted directly onto down-conductors, it records every discharge event where lightning current flows to ground.

Utilizing electromagnetic inductive sensing, the device requires no external power source or battery replacements, operating reliably through mechanical or electro-mechanical register accumulation.

Regular logging of lightning events allows building operators to schedule mandatory post-strike visual and instrumental inspections of SPDs, air terminals, and earth resistance as recommended by IEC 62305.
