This advanced system at the Rotary Pavillion, Fowler Field, Francis and Benard Baseball Fields will detect disturbances within two miles of the detector. The horn will sound for 15 seconds when it detects a lightning disturbance within two miles of detector, flashing until disturbance has gone away.

The horn will not sound again if amber light is still blinking. The light will stop flashing when disturbance is out of detection area and the horn will sound three times, indicating all clear. Once the all clear occurs, the system will reset timer if it detects disturbance after original disturbance.
