Royal Pahang Golf Club at Kuantan, Pahang in Malaysia
- Real-time lightning warning for players
- Installed on the roof top of the club house
Background:
Malaysia has the third highest lightning activity in the world and this increases during the inter-monsoon periods of April, May, September, and October. Reports estimate that, between 2008 and 2017, there have been over 100 fatalities in the country due to lightning strikes.
Requirement:
The Royal Pahang is an 18 hole golf course spread across 120 acres, which required an advanced system capable of covering this large area.
Our Solution:
The BTD-200 is a complete detection and warning system and is able to reliably detect the local presence of all forms of lightning out to a range of 35km-radius from the sensor.
For optimal coverage, the system was mounted on the rooftop of the club house.
The BTD-200 Lightning Works PC software displays the covered area on a digital map. This has been set up on 3 PCs, with one acting as the hub and others serving in different rooms on site.
Its fully automatic alarm triggering system is tiered by the proximity of detected lightning activity:
- Lightning within 35km – warning is triggered
- Lightning with 9km – alert is triggered
The installation was completed by Jebsen & Jessen Malaysia Sdn Bhd
