The Vaisala Tiltable Masts DKP206W
(6 m high) and DKP210W (10 m high)
are suitable for a wide range of
surface weather and climatological
applications. The mast tubes are
made of anodized aluminum. The
remaining parts of the main assembly
are made of stainless steel to resist
weathering. The mast is painted white.
One maintenance person can
effortlessly tilt the mast with the
optional, easily detached winch to
maintain the sensors and other
equipment installed on the upper
mast assembly. This signicantly
reduces the costs associated with
maintaining the automatic
weather station.
The basic mast delivery includes
the lightning rod with the grounding
cable, one set of guy wires, the lifting
rod and the foundation set. All the
components are packed in durable
cardboard boxes that are suitable
for airfreight.
The lightning rod protects the sensors
and other equipment by means of nonconductive holders and grounding
via one of the three guy wires which
is totally isolated from the mast. The
equipment is always grounded to a
separate grounding point.
With one standard set of guy wires,
the mast can easily withstand winds of
up to 50 m/s when the weather station
enclosure, solar panel and sensors are
installed on it. The optional second
guy wire set enables the DKP210W to
withstand winds of up to 75 m/s.
The foundation set includes all the
parts needed for constructing a steady
and correctly oriented base for the
mast. The only additional item needed
at the installation site is concrete or an
existing concrete block.
