Biral BTD-200 is a professional, stand-alone lightning warning system that puts safety first. Developed by British Biral, a world leader in meteorological measurement equipment, the BTD-200 is designed to provide accurate warnings of lightning strikes. The system is unique in its ability to detect all types of lightning: cloud-to-ground, cloud-to-cloud and even the hidden electrical discharges (intra-cloud) that often precede an actual strike.

By using advanced electrostatic measurement technology, the BTD-200 minimizes the risk of false alarms, which is critical for businesses where downtime can be costly. When the system detects an increased risk, real-time alerts are activated, giving responsible personnel valuable time to evacuate sports fields, stop crane lifting in the construction industry or secure refueling operations at airports. With the BTD-200, you get a system that meets international standards for lightning warning (IEC 62793) and delivers peace of mind in the most demanding environments.
