Connecting the Weather Station
If the Viper Pro is connected to a CAN control system, the weather station must be connected to the ’COM 2/
Console’ connector on the Viper Pro main interface or chassis interface cable.
If the Viper Pro is connected to an external Raven serial controller, the weather station must be connected to
‘COM 3/Lightbar’ on the Viper Pro auxiliary interface or chassis interface cable.
If the Viper Pro is using the Viper Pro combination cable (P/N 115-0171-744), connect the weather station to
the ’Console’ connector if using a CAN control system, or to the AUX connector if using an external Raven
serial controller.

Once the system is properly powered and cabled, and the activation key has been entered into the Viper Pro,
the Viper communications port must be configured for the weather station.
