JUPITER TMS: TRANSIENT MONITORING SYSTEM

JUPITER TMS: MISSION-PROVEN LIGHTNING & TRANSIENT MONITORING

HIGH-SPEED, ZERO DEAD-TIME, EVENT-DRIVEN DATA ACQUISITION

Lightning can infiltrate your power infrastructure and sensitive electronic systems in many ways. Direct lightning strikes to your facility or assets pose an obvious hazard, but nearby strikes can be equally damaging, particularly if lightning signals are strongly coupled into power and other utilities that enter your facilities. It pays to know when these lightning transients occur, and how damaging they are likely to be to your infrastructure.

The Jupiter Transient Monitoring System (TMS) is a high-speed, ultra-reliable data acquisition system. The system seamlessly interfaces with voltage, current, and electronic sensors. Jupiter TMS delivers real-time detection, analysis, and reporting for lightning and other transient signals, empowering you to quickly identify and diagnose potential issues in your critical power and electromechanical systems before they evolve into catastrophic failures.

SLS designed Jupiter TMS to reliably monitor, accurately measure, and quickly report lightning-related and other transient signals that may compromise the integrity of your sensitive assets. Investing in Jupiter TMS is making an informed decision to keep your operations seamlessly running. The detrimental impacts of lightning strikes can be significant, often causing latent damage that is not immediately apparent. By providing accurate and timely information, Jupiter TMS enables facility operators to identify, quantify, and comprehend these potential issues, ensuring your systems’ continued efficiency and effectiveness.
