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.

We have made the installation and update as easy as possible, so if you are
generally happy installing software applications the process should not be too

2.2 BTD-200 Direction Finder Description
The BTD-200 Direction Finder allows the BTD-200 sensor to report the direction of
lightning flashes in addition to their distance from the sensor. The location of
lightning flashes is shown on the Lightning Works software map display as a series of
dots which fade with time. The Direction Finder thus allows the BTD-200 system to
provide a clear picture of the track of thunderstorms in the area.
