Information
Judging the danger of lightning
used to be a matter of guesswork. Now
with SkyScan, it's just a matter of
pushing a button. SkyScan is a hand-held
instrument with the electronic
sophistication to detect lightning as far
as 40 miles away and accurately ranges
its approach to allow plenty of time to
clear the field, leave the camp grounds,
or sail back to shore.SkyScan
Features:
ACCURACY:
Patented
dual antenna technology, state-of-the-art
electronics, and a full digital
microprocessor insures accuracy and
reliability.
POWER:
SkyScan can powered by two
9V batteries, or a 120V A/C adapter. Unit
has AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF after five hours
of continuous operation for extended
battery life.
RANGE
SELECT: Allows
user to choose range at which detected
lightning strokes will sound audible
warning tone.
TONE
ON/OFF: Permits
user to turn of/off the audible tone,
permitting situations where a distinctive
audible warning alarm would be intrusive.
STORM
DISTANCE: Indicates
range of detected lightning strokes by
lightning high-intensity LEDs and
sounding of audible alarm. One LED will
light for a lightning strike 20-40 miles
away, two for a lightning strike 8-20
miles away, three for a lightning strike
3-8 miles away (highly dangerous
situation), and all four for a lightning
strike within three miles.
BATTERY
SAVE: Allows
user to extend battery life. This mode
deactivates ALL LEDs, except BATTERY
SAVE. SkyScan still provides audible
warning of lightning strikes, while
extending battery life from 40-50 hours
to as much as 75+ hours.
LOW
BATTERY: Lights
when SkyScan has approximately five hours
of operational life remaining in the
batteries.
SEVERE
STORM WARNING: Alerts
user of especially strong thunderstorms
or squall lines, which might produce
especially strong winds, heavy rains or
even tornadoes. SkyScan will sound a
continuous alarm for fifteen seconds and
lights the SEVERE STORM WARNING LED for a
minimum of fifteen minutes. The unit will
repeat the process every fifteen minutes
until the severe weather activity has
cleared.
AUTOMATIC
FALSE TRIGGER ALERT:
Continuous cycling of all
LEDs through start-up routine occurs
whenever SkyScan detects background noise
levels (such as TVs, computer displays,
or other appliances) high enough to
interfere with the accurate detection and
ranging of lightning activity.
SKYSCAN
CASE: SkyScan
electronics are protected by a rugged,
weather-resistant plastic case,
permitting use in any typical outdoor
application.
