Industrial facilities face unique lightning risks due to tall structures, metal equipment, flammable materials, and outdoor operations that cannot simply stop at the first sign of a storm. Boltek lightning detection systems give industrial operators the advance warning they need to protect workers, secure hazardous processes, and minimize costly downtime.
Protect Workers and Critical Infrastructure
Lightning strikes at industrial sites can ignite flammable storage areas, damage sensitive control systems, and put outdoor workers at serious risk. Boltek’s ERL-10 detection packages continuously monitor for electrical activity and automatically trigger alerts through stacklights, horn speakers, and LED warning signs when storms approach, giving your team time to implement safety protocols before conditions become dangerous.
Automated Alerting Across Large Sites
Industrial complexes often cover large areas with multiple buildings, outdoor work zones, and remote locations. Boltek’s ERL-10 relay modules connect to a range of alerting devices including indoor stacklights, outdoor LED signs, and audio alert systems to ensure every worker on site receives timely warnings, regardless of where they are.
Long-Range Storm Tracking for Planning
With the ERL-10 KIT2 Dual Sensor Lightning Detection Package’s included LD-250 Lightning Detector, facility managers can track approaching storms from up to 300 miles away. This advance notice allows operations teams to plan shutdowns of sensitive processes, secure outdoor materials, and position emergency response resources well before a storm arrives on site.
