The WAVE Transmitter accepts contact-closure signals from the Strike Guard Lightning Data Receiver and sends disable and/or enable signals via radio to the Sequencer based on detection of local lightning by Strike Guard. The Sequencer has manual override capability and is programmable to initiate full automatic control or automatic shutdown with manual re-enabling.

Each Sequencer allows three separate relays or contactors to be switched automatically to power off, isolate, and/or ground any number of electrical circuits or cables. The time delays between the Sequencer outputs may be used to facilitate an orderly irrigation pump shut-down/start-up sequence. The 12 VDC outputs of the Sequencer are designed to control relays appropriate for managing the loads represented by pumps, irrigation systems and other critical equipment. Contact Wxline or your distributor for a list of recommended relays and typical wiring diagrams.

The WAVE Sequencer provides front panel manual Sequence Off and Sequence On switches and a key-switch that enables or disables the automatic restore function.

The WAVE Sequencer employs state-of-the-art wireless technology to shut down and isolate vulnerable electrical components during local thunderstorms. The Sequencer receives digitally encoded signals from the WAVE Transmitter to initiate the automatic orderly protection of critical industrial systems (irrigation and computer systems) or to initiate remote sequenced events (data back-up, generator start, and other industrial control functions).

SEQUENCER SPECIFICATIONS:

The WAVE Sequencer complements the WAVE Transmitter and Strike Guard Lightning Warning System to provide automatic remote shut-down and isolation of vulnerable electrical irrigation equipment during local thunderstorms. The Sequencer is the critical control element in modern, intelligent, active lightning protection schemes for central irrigation control computers, irrigation satellites and pump station equipment.

The WAVE Interface sends secure codes to activate an unlimited number of Siren Stations and Sequencers within a three mile radius.
