ProLEC Basic : Know When Lightning StrikesYour First Step Toward Smarter Protection.
Every Strike Tells a Story. Do You Know Yours?
When lightning hits your structure, it doesn’t leave a note.
It leaves damage, downtime, and uncertainty.
Was the surge minor or severe?
When exactly did it happen?
How often is your facility exposed?
Without precise data, maintenance becomes guesswork.
With ProLEC Basic, you turn every strike into actionable information.
The Essential Lightning Event Counter
ProLEC Basic is a compact, contact-free lightning current sensor that logs every discharge flowing through your down-conductor — safely, accurately, and automatically.
Each event is recorded with exact date and time, giving you a verified history of every atmospheric discharge that affected your site.
That means you can correlate events with electrical faults, plan maintenance confidently, and make decisions based on facts, not assumptions.
