The manual is organised so that if you read it from start to finish you will have a

good understanding of how the Direction Finder operates, how it should be installed

and how to use it. We realise however that different people will be involved in the

installation and use of the system, so the following guidance is given.

System, before attempting to install the Direction Finder we recommend you

familiarise yourself with the BTD-200 Lightning Warning System manual.

Physical Installation

cables to a power source and your site warning system and/or IT system. A general

maintenance contractor or electrician will be able to do this work.

2.2 BTD-200 Direction Finder Description

The BTD-200 Direction Finder allows the BTD-200 sensor to report the direction of
