How Strike Alert Operates:
When first turned on, Strike Alert performs a battery test.
The LEDs will indicate the battery level, with each LED indicating about 20 hours of operation. The LEDs will light up, beginning with the red LED and leading up to the current battery level. The current battery level will be the final LED to light and will remain lit for two seconds. Strike Alert will then begin its normal operation.
During normal operation
, the green LED will be on continuously to indicate Strike Alert is monitoring for lightning strikes. If the green LED is blinking, Strike Alert is in the presence of interference.
When a lightning strike is detected, Strike Alert will light the appropriate LED indicating the distance of the strike. This LED will remain lit for two minutes- unless another strike occurs during that time. If a more recent strike is further away, the LED indicating this distance will light for two seconds, and then return to complete the two minutes from the nearest strike. If a more recent strike is nearer, it will replace the previous LED reading. This LED indicator will be held for two minutes. This allows the user to see all the lightning activity within a 40 mile range, giving clearer visibility to the nearest strike in the last two minutes. If the power switch is in the "On with Tone" position, Strike Alert will also generate tone(s) indicating the distance of the strike along with lighting the appropriate LED. This allows you to determine the storm's activity without having to monitor the LEDs.
Strike Alert uses a trend of strike distances over the last five minutes to determine if a storm is approaching or departing. By depressing the power switch, the LED will change to one of three patterns:
* If the LED cycles from green to red, the storm is approaching.
* If the LED cycles from red to green, the storm is departing.
* If the LED cycles from the center LED to the outside LEDs, the storm is stationary or there's not enough data to determine the direction of the storm. Direction cannot be determined if there has not been enough strikes to identify a trend or Strike Alert has not been running long enough. Approximately five minutes is needed in the presence of lightning strikes to determine direction.
