Table 1. Vaisala Lightning Protection Kits for different mast types

Vaisala masts come with a passive air terminal that is made of aluminum. The air terminal is connected to a grounding connector at the base of the mast with a down conductor that runs outside the mast.

CAUTION Vaisala recommends an air terminal for all mast structures that reach 10 meters (33 feet). For mast structures that reach 6 meters (20 feet) or lower, an air terminal is recommended in regions with high lightning density. Especially in tropical or sub-tropical regions, a lightning protection system is a necessity.
