Procedure 1d: Peaked Roof Installations
The WeatherHawk wind sensors should be at least 8 feet (2.5 m) above the roof peak, which
requires two extensions (TP1-MX) and a guy-wire kit (TP1-GK).
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 9).
2. Use a rubber band to attach a level device, such as the one in the Tripod Installation Kit
(P/N TP1-TK), 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 10).
4. Remove the protective paper from the bottom of the sealing pads
and extend the tripod legs.
5.
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 is attached to the roof by loosening/tightening
the upper and lower collar bolts. If more adjustment is
required, make minor position changes in the tripod assembly
until the mast is level.
6. Screw the lag bolts through the holes in each tripod foot and
into the roof. (Figure 11).

Follow Procedure 3: Mounting the WeatherHawk Station
on a Tripod or Pole (page 10).
Sealing Pad
Figure 11: The TP1 Tripod Kit
includes the lag bolts used to secure
the TP1 to a roof. Two lag bolts
are used for each tripod foot. The
bolts must pierce the sealing pads.
Figure 9: 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.

the tripod on a peaked roof. When
properly placed, all foot pads rest
flat on the roof.
