A.3.6 16775—Tripod Grounding Kit
The 16775 provides hardware needed to properly ground the weather station
and tripod. Properly grounding the station prevents electrical surges and
lightning from damaging the weather station (see Section 5.4.6, 16775 Ground
Kit Installation).
The 16775 includes:
•
91.4 cm (36 in) long copper sheathed steel electrical ground rod
•
Electrical couplings for connection to the ground rod and tripod
•
5 ft length of plastic-coated, #4 stranded copper cable
•
3 ft length of 14 AWG stranded copper wire with a connection lug on one
end
a. Because proper grounding of the system is required for
both personal safety and reliable system function, we
recommend a qualified electrician install the grounding kit.
b. If the station is not properly grounded, a computer
connected to the weather station can also be damaged by
electrical surges.
c. This kit is for ground installations only. A qualified
electrician should design and install and the grounding
system for a roof mounted station.
