6. Follow Procedure 3: Mount the WeatherHawk Station on a Tripod or Pole.
Procedure 1d: Peaked Roof Installation
The WeatherHawk wind sensors should be at least 8 feet (2.5m) above the roof peak, which requires
two extensions (TP1-MX) and a guy-wire kit (TP1-GK). If using the HM1 please refer to Appendix
B for setup diagram
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 20).
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 at the peak of the roof with one foot pad on one side and two foot pads on the other side of
the peak (Figure 21).
