 Protection Performance
Rp3
The protection radius (Rp) of a Stormaster ESE terminal is h1 Rp2
calculated using the following formula as defined by the French Rp1
National Standard NF C 17-102 (July 1995). h2

Rp = h(2D-h) + T(2D + T) for 5m where: h3

The following key parameters determine the calculation of RP.

T as established during the test.
Stormaster-ESE-50 = T (s) 50
L Stormaster-ESE-60 = T (s) 60
h = actual height of Stormaster terminal above the area to be
protected (m).
D (in m) depends on the selected level of protection,
protection levels are specified in annex B of the standard
NF C 17-102.
D = 20m for protection level 1 (High Protection)
D = 45m for protection level 2 (Medium protection)
D = 60m for protection level 3 (Standard protection)
