the WeatherHawk and is suitable for both ground and rooftop
installations (see TP1 installation procedures, pp 4-8).
The TP1 includes:

TP1-TK—Tripod Installation Kit
This kit includes equipment that helps you install the WeatherHawk to the correct 3-axis vertical
orientation and to align the station to the magnetic North (see TP1 installation procedures, pp 4-8).
Using the TP1-TK to properly orient the weather station helps assure accurate measurements.
The TP1-TK includes:
Multi-axis bubble level
Compass
Rubber band for attaching the bubble level
to the tripod mast
TP1-SK—Tripod Stake Kit
The TP1-SK is for anchoring the tripod to the soil. It is intended for temporary installations and sites
that experience light to moderate wind speeds (see TP1 Tripod: Ground Installation Procedure, p. 6).
The TP1-SK includes:
(3) ½” (1.27 cm) diameter solid steel spikes with a welded hammer cap on one end
The above pictured stake kit may be replaced by three galvanized steel spikes that offer equal or
better holding ability. Substitution is at the discretion of WeatherHawk based on product
availability at the time of order.
Sites that may experience high wind speeds should not use this kit. For those sites, anchor
the tripod with bolts and guy-wires fastened to a concrete pad or other permanent base.
