Important Installation Instructions
CAUTION:
Improper installation of the
WeatherMount to your roof top may result in
leaks. We recommend a licensed roofing
specialist for evasive installations.
CAUTION:
Any metal object may attract a
lightning strike, including your weather station
and tripod.
Never install your weather station in a
thunderstorm.
We recommend properly grounding the tripod to
avoid extensive damage to the weather station
and structure. Consult a licensed electrician or
local lightning detection expert prior to installing
a ground wire.
WeatherMount Installation
Reference Figure 3. There are three typical
mounting configurations (1) pitched roof
mount (2) flat roof mount (3) gable end
mount (horizontal).

Step 1
. Fasten the WeatherMount base to
the building, home or structure (Figure 4).
Use the enclosed lag screws to drill into the
structure. If drilling into a non masonry
structure, use the included tar pad kits (tar
pad kits are not intended to be used when
mounting using the optional accessory
Ubolts).

Step 2
: Rotate the base of the pole until
it is vertically level. Use a level to make
certain the top of the mounting pole is
level and tighten the adjustable bracket.
Step 3
: Mount the weather station to the
mounting pole. If it is a wireless weather
station, it is recommended the solar
transmitter(s) is facing true south.
