a. Do not use more than two TP1-MX extensions with the TP1 Tripod Assembly.

b. When two TP1-MX extensions are used, the TP1-GK Guy-wire Kit is also recommended.

TP1-GK Tripod Guy-Wire Kit

The TP1-GK is used to increase the tripod’s stability (see Procedure 3: Guy-wire Kit Installation). It is intended for

permanent installations, installations subject to consistently high wind speeds, or TP1 tripods using two mast

extensions.

The TP1-GK includes:

 Plastic-coated, steel guy-wire cable

 Bracket for securing guy-wires to the TP1 mast

 (3) S-hooks

 (3) turnbuckles

 (6) clamps

TP1-GR Tripod Grounding Kit

The TP1-GR provides hardware needed to properly ground the WeatherHawk and tripod. Properly grounding the

station prevents electrical surges and lightning from damaging the WeatherHawk.

The TP1-GR includes:

 36” (91.4 cm) long copper sheathed steel

electrical ground rod

 Electrical couplings for connection to the

ground rod and tripod

 5 ft. length of plastic coated, #4 stranded

copper cable

 3 ft. length of 14 AWG stranded copper wire

with a connection lug on one end

a. Because proper grounding of the system is required for both personal safety and reliable system

function, we recommend a qualified electrician install the grounding kit.

b. If the station is not properly grounded, a computer connected to the WeatheHawk can also be

damaged by electrical surges.

c. This kit is for ground installations only. A qualified electrician should design and install the

grounding system for a roof mounted station.
