`SMART LIGHTNING:`
intelligent lightning protection

With more than 20 years of existence in the market and more than 100.000 installations worldwide, lightning rod DAT CONTROLER^® PLUS is a reference in the quality segment of the Early Streamer Emission (ESE) air terminals.

DAT CONTROLER^® PLUS evolved to its DAT CONTROLER^® REMOTE version with the addition of IoT connectivity, allowing self-assessment and daily communication of the lightning rod status, thus making it the first smart lightning arrester on the market.

SMART TECHNOLOGY: SELF-DIAGNOSIS AND IoT CONNECTIVITYT

The head autonomously evaluates its status and sends the result daily via IoT (Internet of Things) technology.

TECHNOLOGY THAT PROTECTS: REAL REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

Tested in official and independent laboratories, with consecutive tests on the same sample, as required by the lightning protection standards, demonstrating its advance time after being aged by corrosion and withstanding repeated high current discharges.

TECHNOLOGY THAT PERFORMS UNDER THE MOST ADVERSE CONDITIONS: A LIGHTNING ARRESTER BEYOND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

Reliability, continuous improvement and maximum demand in tests and certifications: operation in rainy conditions, operation in explosive atmospheres, operation in extended lightning current stress tests of more than 200kA and with the AENOR N product certificate.

`DAT CONTROLER^® REMOTE` IoT Functioning

The DAT CONTROLER^® REMOTE lightning rod, in addition to its main function as a protection element, performs a self-diagnosis of itself and transfers this information to the AT- CLOUD cloud server.

The result of this self-diagnosis can be visualised in its own web portal, accessible through any browser and device (mobile, tablet, computer) with other customised notifications.

In this way, the information is always available to the user and enables the monitoring and correct preventive and corrective maintenance of the installation.

Compliance with Directive 1995/CE R&TTE Radiocommunications and Telecommunications terminal equipment, standards EN 60950:2006, EN 301 489-1: 2011. EN 301 489-7:2011

Self-diagnosis

DAT CONTROLER^® REMOTE lightning rod autonomously evaluates its status on a daily basis and sends the result of its self-assessment thanks to its IoT (Internet of Things) connectivity. In addition to the daily report, the lightning rod status can be consulted at any time via its M2M (Machine to Machine) communication.

Analysis in AT-CLOUD

Installation data, lightning air terminal status, installation coordinates, serial number, date and time of last communication.

`Smart air terminal: DAT CONTROLER^® REMOTE` features

Protection radius

DAT CONTROLER^® REMOTE is an Early Streamer Emission (ESE) air terminal that bases its operation on the electrical characteristics of the lightning formation, emitting the continuous upward tracer before any other object within its protection radius.

This characteristic is called advance time (∆T), the feature that defines an ESE air terminal. The greater its anticipation in the formation of the upward tracer, the greater the distance at which it captures the downward tracer, protecting against lightning in a larger area. The maximum advance time that can be applied to protection radius calculation according to the standards is 60µs.

Certifications and regulatory compliance

Conforms to UNE 21.186:2011 “Lightning protection: ESE air terminals” “Protection against lighting: Early streamer emission lightning protection systems” and similar NFC 17-102:2011, NP 4426:2013, UNC-1185).

AENOR Product Certification N° 058/000005 in accordance with Standard UNE 21186:2011.

Extended lightning current stress test

The normative tests only require 3 pulses of 100 kA with 10/350 μs wave in the ESE lightning current tests.

However, DAT CONTROLER® REMOTE is additionally subjected to 20 200 kA impulses (10 positives and 10 negative polarities) and 5 further 250 kA impulses with 10/350 μs wave.

With the extended lightning current stress test, DAT CONTROLER® REMOTE proves to be the leading lightning current arrester on the market in terms of performance and with the assured operation even beyond the highest level of protection required by the standards.

Operation in explosive atmospheres

The only ATEX-certified air terminal for installation in explosive and flammable atmospheres.

Certified operation in rainy conditions
(isolation higher than 95%):

An ESE lightning arrester requires two electrodes insulated from each other, one of them at atmospheric potential and the other one at earthing potential.

Devices without guaranteed insulation are exposed to weather conditions (rain, snow, ice, etc.) bringing the two electrodes into contact with each other and short-circuiting the arrester. The ESE then loses its main characteristic (∆T), drastically reducing its protection area.

The patented design of the DAT CONTROLER® REMOTE prevents rain from contacting the metal external casing, which must be at atmospheric electrical potential with its metal shaft, which must be at earthing potential.

DAT CONTROLER® REMOTE lightning conductors have certified insulation of more than 95% (in accordance with UNE-EN 60060-1:2012), which guarantees the correct operation of the device and its protection area in the event of heavy rain.

Product certificate with the AENOR N stamp:

AENOR, the highest certification body in Spain, controls our production and verification processes to guarantee product quality, carrying out periodic regulatory tests on random production samples.

Calculation of the protected volume by Early Streamer Emission (ESE) Air Terminals: two valid ways with identical results

$Lightning and surge protection are essential in any type of building, whether it is an individual dwelling, a residential building or a critical structure such as a data centre. Lightning strikes are natural phenomena that can release large amounts of energy in a fraction of a second, while both atmospheric discharges and fluctuations in the power grid can cause surges. The consequences of not having a protection system in place or an inadequate one represent a significant risk to people, electronic equipment and the integrity of structures.$
