DescriptionThe Seeed Studio RS485 Industrial Lightning Detection Sensor is a rugged RS485 Modbus RTU lightning detection sensor for weather stations, industrial safety monitoring, and remote outdoor sensing. It detects cloud-to-ground, intra-cloud, and cloud-to-cloud discharges, estimates the latest strike distance up to 40 km, and reports strike count, relative strike energy, noise count, and disturber count through Modbus registers.With an IP68 enclosure, 5-28 V DC input, low-power operation, and a -40C to +80C operating range, the RS485 Industrial Lightning Detection Sensor is suitable for solar-powered stations, battery-powered sensor nodes, agriculture, industrial facilities, and outdoor safety alert systems.Features 40 km lightning detection for cloud-to-ground, intra-cloud, and cloud-to-cloud discharges. RS485 Modbus RTU output for reliable industrial data acquisition and long cable runs. Official register data for strike count, distance estimation, energy of last strike, noise count, and disturber count. 10-, 30-, and 60-minute strike count statistics, plus 60-minute noise and disturber analysis. 5-28 V DC input, quiescent current below 1.2 mA at 12 V DC, and less than 6 mA during lightning detection. IP68 wall-mount enclosure with 2 m cable, reverse-polarity protection, surge protection, TVS, and ESD protection.
