28、 standards. BS EN 62561-6:2011 EN 62561-6:2011 (E) 5 LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEM COMPONENTS (LPSC) Part 6: Requirements for lightning strike counters (LSC) 1 Scope This Part 6 of EN 62561 specifies the requirements and tests for devices intended to count the number of lightning strike pulses flowing
29、 in a conductor. This conductor may be part of a lightning protection system (LPS) or connected to an SPD installation (or other conductors which are not intended to conduct a significant portion of lightning currents). NOTE Lightning strike counters may also be suitable for use in hazardous atmosph
30、eres. Regard should then be taken of the extra requirements necessary for the components to be installed in such conditions. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

41、e surrounding. The choice of a material depends on its ability to match the particular application requirements. 4.2 Documentation The manufacturer or supplier of the lightning strike counter shall provide adequate information in his literature to ensure that the installer can select and install the
42、 counter in a suitable and safe manner. Compliance is checked by inspection. BS EN 62561-6:2011 EN 62561-6:2011 (E) 7 4.3 Marking All products complying with this standard shall be marked at least with the following: a) the name of the manufacturer or his trademark; b) the reference of the type or t
43、he serial number; c) the position of the assembly if necessary; d) the degree of protection (IP) if applicable; e) conformity to the present standard (of which in particular Itc and Imcwif applicable). For small devices, if the place available is not sufficient for all the indications to appear, the
44、 indications cited in a) and b) above shall at least be reproduced on the apparatus and visible once installed. The indications cited in c), d) and e), can be carried on the packaging and/or in installation data sheet and/or the catalogue of the manufacturer. Compliance is checked in accordance with
45、 6.7. NOTE Marking may be applied, for example, by moulding, pressing, engraving, printing adhesive labels, or water slide transfers. 4.4 Design The design of the lightning counter shall be such that it carries out its function of counting the number of lightning strikes flowing in a conductor.
