ADT Counter
REF. AS600920
THE MOST VERSATILE, COMPLETE AND EASY TO INSTALL LIGHTNING METER.
The ADT Counter counts and records the direct strikes and surges of a lightning protection system.
It is a device that does not intervene in the operation of the protection system, but it is undoubtedly a very important element, because it is the only way of knowing that the system has suffered a lightning strike and that a revision of the system must be carried out to verify that everything is in correct condition and we continue to be protected.
Due to its design and its materials, it is robust, reliable and autonomous. It does not need external power supply and is compatible with any lightning rod

Internal protection
Surge protectors
Why install them?
Lightning can fundamentally affect us in two ways, either by direct impact or through an overvoltage, so a complete lightning protection system is made up of two systems; an external system against direct impacts and another internal to counteract the effects produced by overvoltages.
We have standardized protectors to protect any installation and/or equipment, we even manufacture protectors tailored to the client and the systems that need to be protected.
Contact us and our technical department will advise you on the most appropriate choice.
SPD · Modular protection systems
Type 1 surge protection devices are recommended in installations where there is a high probability of atmospheric discharges.

SPU · Unified protection systems
Unified protection systems, also known as SPUs, are made up of multiple redundant protection sets coordinated with each other and designed according to the criteria of maximum discharge capacity and minimum residual voltage. Its design allows the implementation of accessory modules, as well as its adaptation to the needs of each installation, giving priority to its safety and proper functioning.
The SPUs have been designed to ensure the protection of installations against overvoltages of atmospheric and industrial origin, MF/AM harmonics, and peaks associated with micro-interruptions. In addition, the electrical installation will be protected against overvoltages, power outages, and phase asymmetry by adding a PTR4 set. This set is programmable in time and voltage.
- Large discharge capacity for 8/20 µs and 10/350 µs waveforms.
- Residual values close to the voltage of the protected installation.
- Frequency filtering.
- There are 3 or 4 effective and self-coordinated protective sets, each one by itself.
- Eliminates surges between phases, phase-ground, phase-neutral, and neutral-ground.
- Response time of 0.025µs.
- Microinterruptions in the order of milliseconds are eliminated in low power installations.
- Repairable

Our protection systems have been designed to protect all types of electrical and electronic installations of any power, especially those that have sensitive electronic devices. With the installation of an SPU, installations are prevented from being affected by: overvoltages, micro-interruptions, harmonics, undervoltages, phase asymmetry, and electromagnetic compatibility.
Given that not all installations are the same, and to protect them effectively, it is necessary to adapt both to their characteristics and to the demands of our client, at MD we offer the possibility of modifying the features of our products. Therefore, any device developed by MD can:
- Adjust to special supply voltages: 500 V, 690 V, etc.
- Modify the IP degree in the installations that require it.
- Increase the energy dissipation capacity in installations subjected to very energetic discharges.
- Increase the frequency filtering capacity.
- Adapt to any type of network: two-phase, three-phase are neutral, IT, TT, etc.
- It incorporates acoustic alarms.

Grounding
Grounding
The part responsible for dissipating lightning energy
The ground connection is the part of the system that is responsible for safely dispersing the lightning current. For this reason, it is necessary to take into account some aspects at the time of its installation, since the safety of the entire installation will depend on the correct functioning of the ground connection.
First of all, for the system to function correctly, it is necessary that the value of the ground connection of the lightning rod with a priming device be below 10 ohms.
The layout of the grounding system is also important. The most suitable configuration to obtain the best value with the fewest number of elements is in triangle or goose foot.
In addition, whenever possible, it is convenient to have the earth connections interconnected and, preferably, by means of a spark gap.

Accessories
Everything needed for a complete installation according to standards
There are different reasons for installing a complete lightning protection system, but they could be reduced to two fundamentally:
- Having a lightning protection system is the best option to protect people, animals, structures, machinery, and facilities against this natural phenomenon.
- To comply with the regulations that regulate the installation of these systems.
At Aiditec Systems we have all the necessary accessories for the installation of these systems safely and in compliance with current regulations.

FUNCTIONING
- Connect the cables to the connection terminals of the tester
- Connect the lightning rod clamps in the test position, as indicated in the connection diagram regardless of bipolarity.
- Press the power button.
- Select “New Test”.
- Simultaneously press the two TEST buttons to start the cycle.
- Wait a few seconds while the tester performs the test.
The measurement must always be made between 2 existing potentials in all lightning rods with priming devices (ESE):
- ATMOSPHERIC POTENTIAL (Body and tip)
- EARTH POTENTIAL* (axis)
*If the measurement is made with the lightning rod installed, the connection to ground potential can be made on the mast or the downpipe, since both elements would be attached to the axis of the lightning rod.
- Do not touch the lightning rod at the time of testing.
- This equipment produces high voltage. Handle the alligator clips correctly.
- It is necessary to press the test buttons with both hands.
- Avoid testing in stormy conditions.
| TEST OK | Test successful |
| TEST FAILED | Test failed |
| OPEN CIRCUIT | Open circuit >> ESE is faulty |
| SHORT CIRCUIT | Short circuit >> ESE has a short circuit or low resistive value |
| LEAKAGE CORRENT | Leak current >> ESE has a current leak |
| OUT OF RANGE | Out of range >> ESE works at voltages outside those specified |
The AS TESTER PRO lightning rod tester only guarantees the proper functioning of the priming device but not the physical integrity of the lightning rod, so a positive result in a lightning rod that has suffered physical damage does not mean that it maintains its condition. level of coverage, since this does not depend only on the priming device, but also on physical parameters, so to guarantee the level of coverage, a visual inspection of the physical integrity of the lightning rod is also required.

The importance of choosing a good measuring device
Lightning protection systems must ensure optimal and safe operation at all times, so it is necessary to carry out periodic checks.
Measurement devices are essential elements for this correct control and maintenance, helping to prolong the life of these systems and complying with the parameters established by regulations.
Our devices have been designed and developed with the highest quality standards to ensure the proper functioning of the lightning protection installation.

Passive rods
Passive rods
The simplest protection
Passive rods or Franklin rods are the most common and simple lightning rods. These can be used as the only sensor element or be part of passive protection systems, complementing the protection in conductive meshes (Faraday cages).
Franklin rods do not perform any special action during the electrical storm process, the protection of these points is based on the position of the rods, the morphology, material, and the physical reaction that takes place in the electrostatic field.
Types of passive rods
Franklin rods for protection against lightning. It can be used as a sensor element or be part of passive protection systems. Includes a brass adapter piece for Ø 45 mm mast and internal connection with round conductor Ø 8/10 mm (50/70 mm2)
