Procedure 3b: Mounting a Signature Series Station on a Tripod or Pole
This procedure assumes the WeatherHawk has been setup and tested at the computer location
(see Quick Start-up Guide), and that a tripod or pole has been installed at the site (see TP1
Tripod Installation Procedures, pp 4-8).
1.
Place your WeatherHawk assembly on top of the mast or pole with the base firmly seated on the
top edge of the mast or pole (Figure 12).
2.
Loosely tighten the U-bolt nuts so that the WeatherHawk is stable but can be rotated on the mast
or pole (Figure 13).
3.
As a reference, use a magnetic compass (supplied in the optional Tripod Installation Kit,
P/N TP1-TK) and rotate the WeatherHawk assembly until the reference line on the wind
direction sensor is aligned with Magnetic North (Figure 14).
