Product catalog summary
Overview
The LPK Lightning Protection Unit is designed to safeguard weighing systems from lightning strikes and electrical disturbances, particularly in industrial environments. It features a two-stage lightning protection circuit with warning lamps and an audible alarm, ensuring maximum uptime and easy installation. The unit is housed in an IP67 rated enclosure, providing robust protection.

Key Features
  • Two-stage lightning protection with audio-visual fault monitoring.
  • Maximizes system uptime and is easy to install.
  • IP67 rated housing for durability.
  • Protects people, facilities, load cells, and weighing instruments.
  • Provides power-line surge protection.

Importance of Protection
Electronic scales are sensitive to electrical disturbances and vulnerable to lightning strikes, especially in open environments like truck and silo scales. The cost of damage from lightning strikes can exceed the cost of the protection system, making the LPK unit a cost-effective solution.

Technical Specifications
  • Operating voltage: 100 - 240 VAC
  • Max. output current: 10 A
  • Max. discharge current: 10kA for LPK-10, 20kA for LPK-20
  • Voltage protection level (UP): < 1000 volts
  • Operating temperature range: -10°C to +85°C
  • Enclosure material: ABS plastic
  • Dimensions: 202.5 x 80 x 58.5 mm

Installation and Connection
The LPK unit requires dedicated grounding and can be connected to scales with analog load cells using specific connection diagrams. Proper grounding and connection of LC cable shields to the ground screw are essential for effective protection.

Baykon LPK Lightning Protection Unit-1

LPK Lightning Protection Unit Protects your weighing system from lightning Complete Protection From Lightning • Protects people and facility • Protects Loadcells • Protects weighing instruments • Provides power-line surge protection Features • Two-stage lightning protection circuit as warning lamps and an audible alarm. • Maximizes uptime • Easy installation • Audio-visual fault monitoring • IP67 rated housing Electronic scales in industrial environments are very sensitive to electrical disturbance as they measure very low-level signals. In addition, electronic scales in an open environment are at risk from lightning strikes and surge voltages. Especially truck and silo scales are very vulnerable to lightning strike effects. Therefore, lightning protection is necessary for these weighing systems. The cost of weighing instruments damage caused by lightning strikes is much more than the protection system cost. Also, the product cost that doesn't get weighed should be added to the total cost. LPK lightning protection unit, with an affordable cost, provides complete protection against all these effects and maximiz
