Vaisala Tiltable Masts DKP206W and DKP210W
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 significantly
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
