7. Connect the power source that will recharge the internal sealed rechargeable battery. If using a solar panel,

follow Procedure 4: Solar Panel Installation. If using an external power supply, assure it was purchased

from WeatherHawk for use with the WeatherHawk weather station or, if not purchased from

WeatherHawk, that it has an output of 18 VDC and that all connections are weatherproof.

a. The internal sealed rechargeable battery must be recharged to assure continued system function.

b. Connecting an incompatible power source to your WeatherHawk negates our Warranty. Therefore

WeatherHawk recommends you check with WeatherHawk Customer Service before connecting a

power source not purchased from WeatherHawk.

c. WeatherHawk’s ACP1 AC Converter must be installed in a non-condensing environment or a

weatherproof enclosure.

8. Remove and discard the red or green protective cap from the solar radiation sensor (Figure 27).

9. Properly ground the WeatherHawk station. If using the TP1-GR Ground Kit, refer to Procedure 5: TP1-

GR Ground Kit Installation.

a. The TP1-GR Ground Kit is for ground located installations only. Do no use the TP1-GR for

rooftop installations.

b. Because proper grounding of the system is required for both safety and reliable system function,

we recommend a qualified electrician install the grounding system.

10. Turn the weather station key to the on position and return to the computer site to confirm the WeatherHawk

is working properly.

Figure 27: A red or green cap protects

the solar radiation sensor while the

WeatherHawk is being shipped and

installed. Accurate measurements require

the cap to be removed.
