DATA SHEET >INTERCEPTION SYSTEMS AND ACCESSORIES > ESE LIGHTNING AIR TERMINALS > DAT CONTROLER® PLUS > GENERAL DESCRIPTION DAT CONTROLER® PLUS is an Early Streamer Emission (ESE) air terminal based on the electrical characteristics of lightning formation. The air terminal triggers the continuous upward leader before any other object within its radius of protection. This feature is referred to in the regulations as the advance timeof an ESE air terminal (ΔT). The earlier the upward leader is triggered, the larger is the distance where the downward leader is intercepted, thus protecting a greater area against lightning (standards limit it to ΔT≤60 μs). DAT CONTROLER® PLUS terminals offer the highest performance guarantees: 1 REGULATION REQUIREMENTS* In accordance with the standard NF C 17-102:2011 “Early Streamer Emission air terminals” Salt mist test Humid sulphurous atmosphere test Withstand current test: 100 kA (10/350 μs) Advance time ΔT test BEYOND THE STANDARDS: ADDITIONAL FEATURES AENOR MARK In accordance with the AENOR RP 058 specific regulation for ESE air terminals Monitoring samples taken by AENOR technicians Tests in official and independent laboratories Certified withstand current 100 kA, 20 impulses (10/350 μs) Performance under rain (insulation above 95%) Direct application of 20 impulses of current (10/350 μs) with a peak current higher than 100 kA and specific energy greater than 2.5 MJ/Ω Test according to IEC-EN 60060-1:2012 The patented design of the DAT CONTROLER® PLUS prevents rain creating contact between the metal housing at atmospheric electric potential (in blue) and the grounded metal axis (in red) The source feeding the triggering device of an ESE air terminal is the high difference in the potential between its insulated metal frames during a thunderstorm. It is necessary to guarantee such a difference in potential in the event of rain. Checking the state of the air terminal In situ (DAT CONTROLER® PLUS) Remote checking (DAT CONTROLER® PLUS + AT-REMOTE TESTER) *The last edition of the standard UNE 21186, NF C 17-102 and NP 4426 requires, consecutively and on the same sample, the following tests: 1. Environmental tests, in atmospheres with a high salt and sulphur concentration, in order to ensure the correct operation of the air terminal in highly corrosive atmospheres. 2. Current test, applying 3 impulses of 100 kA with a 10/350 μs wave to the air terminal in order to ensure it works after repeated lightning strikes. 3. Advance time test for calculating the ΔT factor which will determine its protection radius.
