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.
