a. If the WeatherHawk station will be inside a fence to discourage vandalism, the fence top edge must be
lower than the wind sensors even if the fence is chain-link
b. Accurate wind measurements require the WeatherHawk to be located at the highest point in a
particular region.
c. The TP1 tripod/mast height cannot exceed 10 feet (312 cm), and you must use a guy-wire kit if you
increase the mast to the maximum height. If you need a higher mounting structure contact
WeatherHawk for recommendations.
Roof Installations
For roof mounts, WeatherHawk recommends either the TP1 Tripod Kit, Non-penetrating mast mount, or the HM3
Low Profile Mast Assembly. The HM3 is suitable for rooftop and well supported fascia board installations.
WeatherHawk also offers mast extensions for the HM1 to increase the height of the sensor platform.
The WeatherHawk needs to be 4 -8 feet (1.25 – 2.5 m) above the roof peak, which requires one or two extensions
(TP1-MX) and a guy-wire kit (TP1-GK) when using the TP1 tripod and two extensions. If your roof has a chimney
or is flat with decorative trim, or has nearby trees taller than the house, follow the “Ten Times the Height Rule”
described in Figure 1.
If a WeatherHawk is installed on a roof, heat reflected and radiated by the building tends to influence
temperature and relative humidity readings of the station.
Do not install your WeatherHawk near a functional chimney. When the chimney is in use, the carbon
particles in the soot may degrade and damage the bearings in the sensors. The heat may also affect the
air temperature and relative humidity measurements.
Do not install your WeatherHawk on a mast or tripod with a television antenna because the additional
wind loading from the WeatherHawk may cause the antenna mast to fail and topple.
Because of electrical isolation and earth ground requirements, WeatherHawk recommends that a
qualified electrician install and ground a directly connected roof mounted weather station. Your
WeatherHawk Warranty is void if the weather station is not properly grounded.
