Overview

The LW110 provides continuous monitoring of the local electric field and triggers warnings when there is the potential for lightning. Because warnings are based on measurements of electric field, instead of prior strikes, the system can detect lightning danger, even when no other strikes have occurred.

By measuring the electric field at your location, the LW110 can be relied upon to remove the guesswork from critical decisions: when to seek shelter as a storm approaches, and when it’s safe to resume activities as a storm passes.

The LW110 is customizable, allowing you to add a lightning strike detector, meteorological sensors, and various communication, power, and mounting options.

Compatibility

IMPORTANT!
The CS110 and an embedded CR1000M datalogger module (ordered as pn 18292) are required for every LW110 purchased; see Common Accessories in ordering information.

Generally, the CS110 should be run with the latest released CR1000 operating system (OS) available via "Support" on this website. However, CR1000 OS version 27.05 should NOT be downloaded to standard CS110s. OS version 27.05 was built to accommodate the ~40,000 v/m efields measured on ocean buoys. The special OS also requires a capacitor change on the CS110 panel board.

The CS110 should not be run with OS 28 (CR1000.Std.28.obj). A bug in OS 28 prevents changing the setup "Constants" via the keyboard or the terminal emulator.
