How does lightning detection work for StrikeUPS™?
The Storm Shelter Electronics Corporation new StrikeUPS™ device uses advanced lightning detection data through its exclusive agreement with Vaisala-GAI, the foremost authority and provider of weather data in the world. A sensor detects a cloud-to-ground flash when five specific criteria are satisfied. These criteria come from the time series of the electromagnetic signal that is produced by a typical cloud-to-ground flash over a small portion of a second. When the sensor observes that these features have been satisfied, it declares that a cloud-to-ground flash has been detected. This report is combined with similar information from several other sensors and the data is then used to calculate the flash position. Storm Shelter receives this data and processes it instantaneously through its Storm Cell™ network. The Storm CellTM network uses the most advanced digital paging technology to signal your new StrikeUPS™ unit of the lightning threat in your area.
