The BTD 200 is a self-contained lightning warning system designed to provide early and reliable alerts of thunderstorm activity. Built on the same proven detection technology used in Biral’s professional aviation-grade systems, it identifies cloud-to-ground, cloud-to-cloud, and intra-cloud lightning, as well as charged precipitation and atmospheric electric field disturbances. This enables the BTD 200 to warn of overhead lightning risk even before the first strike, offering a level of protection not possible with radio-based detectors. With a 35 km detection range and a false alarm rate <2%, the BTD 200 delivers dependable situational awareness for outdoor safety and operational planning.
