Originally posted by jono View PostI used to get a lot of DSC IT-100 boards damaged by nearby lightning. Somewhere I read a tip to make sure my DSC system had a really good ground on the main DSC board. Since I wired that in, I have not seen a blown board. It may be a coincidence, but it is easy enough to try.Hector

Hope that helps.Hector
