SMART LIGHTNING: smart lightning protection With more than 20 years of existence in the market and more than 100.000 installations worldwide, 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 air terminal status, thus making it the first smart lightning air terminal on the market. SMART TECHNOLOGY: SELF-DIAGNOSIS AND IoT CONNECTIVITYT The head autonomously...

Smart technology: daily self-diagnosis and IoT connectivity DAT CONTROLER® REMOTE autonomously evaluates its status on a daily basis and sends the result of its selfassessment 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. The self-diagnosis and communication of its status provide the following advantages: Ă Real preventive maintenance: Thanks to the daily information received, dangerous situations that could occur due to a lack of maintenance at the...

Technology that protects: real regulatory compliance DAT CONTROLER® REMOTE complies with UNE 21.186:2011 “Lightning protection: ESE air terminals” “Protection against lighting: Early streamer emission lightning protection systems” and similar standards (NFC 17-102:2011, NP 4426:2013, UNC-1185, etc.). The normative characteristic that allows the calculation of the protection radius in an ESE is the advance time parameter (∆T), whose maximum effective value is 60 microseconds. ESE air terminals, according to current standards, must be subjected to consecutive ageing and current tests on the...

Technology that works under the most adverse conditions: a lightning air terminal that goes beyond the regulatory requirements DAT CONTROLER® REMOTE goes beyond UNE 21.186:2011 and similar standards (NF C 17-102 and NP 4426) in its advanced features: Ă 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...

Ă Certified operation in rainy conditions (isolation higher than 95%): An ESE lightning air terminal 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...

Features: protection and connectivity Protection radius DAT CONTROLER® REMOTE is an 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, a characteristic known in standards as the advance time (∆T). 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 (according to the regulations, the maximum applicable value of advance is...

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...
