For temporary sites, ensure the soil under the tripod feet is well compacted. Otherwise the tripod may not

remain level after the tripod feet have been secured to the ground.

5. Secure the tripod feet to the ground (See Figure 17).

6. Follow Procedure 3: Mounting the WeatherHawk Station on a Tripod or Pole.

Procedure 1c: Flat Roof Installation

1. For each of the tripod feet, remove the protective paper from one side of the sealing pad to expose the

adhesive then adhere the sealing pad to the bottom of the tripod foot (Figure 18).

2. Use a rubber band to attach a level device, such as the one in the Tripod Installation Kit, to the midpoint of

the tripod mast.

3. Place the tripod on the roof, remove the protective paper from the bottom of the sealing pads, and extend

the tripod legs.

4. Position the tripod such that it is level and all of the foot pads are flat on the roof. Some adjustment is

available after the tripod has been attached to the roof by loosening/tightening the upper and lower collar

bolts. If more adjustment is required, use shims to adjust the foot foundation height until the mast is level.

5. Screw the lag bolts through the holes of each tripod foot (Figure 19). The bolts must pierce the sealing

pads.

Figure 17: For temporary sites, drive the stakes of the TP1-

ST Kit (left) through the center hole in each tripod foot

(right). The stakes should be driven in until they barely

contact the foot surface. For permanent sites, install user-

supplied bolts through the holes in each tripod foot.

Figure 18: The sealing pads, as well as other hardware used

to attach the tripod feet to a roof, are included in the TP1

Tripod Kit. Either side of the sealing pad can be attached to

the bottom of the tripod foot. Protective paper color may

vary.
