EFM-100 sensor or 40 miles/64km with coincidence mode enabled.
•
The
Active For
box sets the duration that the Red alarm will remain active when a strike is
detected within the set distance range. This value can be set between 1 and 60 minutes.
•
The
High Field Enable
box enables/disables a Red High Field alarm.
•
The
Above
box is used to set the desired magnitude of the electrical field to activate
the alarm and represents the same positive and negative field levels. This value
cannot be the same or less than an active orange or yellow high field alarm.
•
The
Delay On
time is the length of time the set electric field magnitude must
remain above before the alarm is activated. If the electric field magnitude drops
below the set point before the delay expires, the delay timer will be reset. This value
can be set between 1 and 600 seconds.
