How do I customize lightning detection parameters?

There are three customizable lightning detection parameters available:

  • Zone 1 Radius: The high-risk proximity. If lightning is detected within this radius of the worksite, an alert is issued advising that outdoor activity is suspended immediately.  
  • Zone 2 Radius: The lower risk proximity. If lightning is detected within this radius of the worksite, an alert is issued to monitor conditions closely. 
    ℹ️ Both radiuses are measured from the worksite's address.
  • Inactivity Alert: The number of minutes after the last lightning strike before the lightning risk is downgraded.

To adjust the lightning detection parameters:

  1. Go to Settings.
