Free standing air termination
Furse free standing interception air rods are designed to protect rooftop mounted or exposed equipment,
such as air conditioning units or photovoltaic panels, from a direct lightning strike.
Free standing interception air rods are easily constructed from a small range of components including air rod or
interception pole, support frame and concrete base, to create a complete unit which when connected to the air
termination network provides a highly versatile and effective lightning protection solution.
Note: installed interception air rods must have sufficient height to provide a clear zone of protection around the
equipment to be protected, as defined by BS EN/IEC 62305-3 (see protective angle method). Further information
can be found in the Furse Guide to BS EN 62305.
