Spectrum Electronics ThunderBolt® 300 Storm Detector

• Continuously monitors storm information with 15-second updates
• Detects storm range and approach speeds up to 60 miles away (±10%)
• Automatic background noise analysis and filtering
• Computer analysis and detection of squall lines and severe storm cells
• Displays storm approach speed, ETA to location, and time to clear at location

ThunderBolt Storm Detector detects, identifies and tracks storm activity sufficiently intense to generate lightning within 60 miles of the user location. With its advanced electronics and proprietary software, ThunderBolt's high sensitivity, single-channel receiver detects electromagnetic field emissions from lightning activity within a storm cell. The unit then converts this data into digital signals and feeds them to its microprocessor for analysis. In addition to identifying the waveforms characteristic of storm activity, ThunderBolt performs continuous analysis of background electromagnetic interference (EMI) at the user location. This function is critical for minimizing false-triggering from non-storm noise sources, and maintaining accuracy of storm data.
