Surge Protector
For upgraded protection against lightning-induced power
surges, power-cross conditions, and ground potential rises,
use surge protectors with any of our cabled weather stations.
See the chart for the number of protectors required for
your installation. Stripping of wires is required.
7767 Surge Protector $18
Surge Protector Shelter
Weather-resistant shelter for surge pro-
tectors (sold separately). Houses up to
two surge protectors. Measures 3½" ×
5¾" × 2¼" (9 × 14.5 × 5.5 cm).
