Outdoor Lightning Detector
Are lightning storms coming your way? Now you can automatically know well in advance.
The YLD3B Lightning Detector stands guard over your backyard pool play area or backyard sports play area.
It is solar powered with back-up battery so it works 24 hours a day for completely "stand alone" operation.
Mount it outdoors all year long for early warnings anytime.
Detects lightning flashes from every direction, including directly overhead.
Detects the most common form of cloud-to-ground lightning strikes.
Also detects local in-cloud lightning flashes.
Adjustable detection range from @ 5 miles to @ 75 miles.
System mounts outdoors on a 5 to 10 foot pole that you supply.
Supplied with mounting clamps for mounting to commonly available TV-type mast pole. Fence post mast can also be used. We mounted the unit on a standard 5-foot pole and a 3-foot tripod, commonly available from Radio Shack stores.
Great for schools, home backyards, playground areas, anywhere a loud alarm is needed to alert you when lightning approaches.
Focus on your work or play and be alerted by the siren without your need of closely monitoring a hand-held device every minute!
The YLD3B Solar Powered Lightning Detector System is The Lightning Alert ® Lightning Detector is designed around individual module components so you can customize your lightning detector. Most parts connect with color-coded binding post connectors or with standard color coded wires.
Many lightning flashes strike near a thunderstorm, but there are also many lightning strikes that shoot out far away from the storm. Some of these can strike as far as 15 miles away. You need the extra warning.
Each unit is carefully constructed out of weather-proof and water-proof components.
The Lightning Alert ® features a sturdy mounting water-proof lightning sensor.
The sensor detects the most common form of cloud-to-ground lightning strikes. It also detects some in-cloud lightning at local ranges.
The siren-driving lightning sensor mounts outdoors on a 5 to 10-foot pole. Adjustable range based on how high the sensor is mounted on the pole. You can adjust the range from about 5 miles to about 75 miles, depending on how high the sensor is above ground level, or how it is mounted on the pole.
Most users should mount the sensor on a 5-foot pole for local detection range out to @ 30 miles.
CAUTION: We recommend no less than 20 miles range, lightning can shoot out and strike 15 miles from a storm.
Sensor features quick-connect binding post connections for easy setup.
Don't be afraid to "play around" with the system if customizing it: The system can not be damaged by brief short-circuit if powered at 9-volts or less. Sensor has built-in current limiting and reverse current protection and electrostatic protection to prevent accidental damage.
Supplied with mounting clamps.
Can be left outdoors set up year-round. Weather-proof. Water-proof.
The siren sounds each lightning detection.
Just mount the lightning sensor and siren on a pole and connect the solar power battery pack.
The siren is easy to hear over loud splashy pool play.
The siren can be heard up to about 300 - 600 feet away, maximum, if conditions are quiet.
(If you don't want it so loud, just add a 100 ohm resistor in the line to greatly reduce the volume).
The siren is powered directly thru the lightning sensor with the system's solar charged NiMH battery.
Size of Siren: 5.9 inches deep. 4.7 inches port opening.

This weather-proof solar charging unit keeps your siren lightning alarm unit working 24-7! Binding Post Connections. Comes with U-bolt clamp for mounting.
Solar Panel quick charges the supplied rechargeable 9-volt NiMH battery.
Standard battery is replaceable.
Solar power is also delivered to the output binding post terminals so the system is powered by -both- the solar cells and the battery during the daytime.
Allows the system to run from the battery all night or on cloudy days (the system will operate on standby for about 2 weeks without sunshine).
This tester lets you easily test your lightning alarm. Checks the battery, siren, and lightning sensor: Generates internal static discharges -miniature lightning flashes- that trigger the lightning detector. No batteries needed: Simply shake the tester within 5 feet of the lightning sensor. The alarm will sound loudly if the system is working correctly.
Easily test the alarm, (without needing to touch it), before play outdoors.
Lightning Sensor Tester $ 9.00. Only with purchase of Lightning Alert® Lightning Detector. Item not sold separately.
Just mount the system parts on a pole and connect and wrap the wires neatly around the pole. Easy modular design. Want two sirens? Just add it in!
When mounted this high (4 feet) the system will detect over 20 miles away. When mounted this high (about 10 feet) the system will detect over 50 miles away.
Sliding the sensor down the pole will reduce the range if the system needs to be mounted high up.
Bolt from the Blue: Also called "Superbolt Lightning". A type of lightning that shoots out away from a thunderstorm to strike the ground some distance away, up to 15 miles away, or more. A thunderstorm does not need to be overhead for lightning to strike you.
Lightning: A sudden and dangerous electrical discharge from a thunderstorm cloud. Most lightning flashes are several miles long and carry millions of volts. Death or permanent severe injury can result from being struck by lightning.
Lightning Sensor: A weather instrument that detects lightning flashes. Most units work by detecting invisible electromagnetic energy from lightning strikes instead of the visible light.
Thunderstorm: An atmospheric disturbance made up of wind, water, and ice, where in millions of volts of static electricity are generated through a natural separation of water droplets and ice crystals by upward wind currents. Thunderstorms begin as rising currents of air usually in the day time due to solar heating. Other factors can cause storms to form if moist humid air is forced upward into the cooler atmosphere layers.

The YLD3B is easy to connect together. The modular components go together easily, and allow flexibility in customizing your system "down the road". The modular design allows changes to be made and parts added for personal customization. The diagram below shows how to wire the parts together after mounting them on a pole.
