Connecting Cabled Stations

Cabled Vantage Pro stations come with 100 feet (30m) of cable. Maximum
cable length from ISS to console is 1000 feet. See “Optional Accessories” on
page 3 t
o purchase additional cable.

1. Gently insert the console end of the 4-conductor wire into the console

receptacle marked “ISS” until it clicks into place.

WARNING:

Do not force the connector into the receptacle.

2. Ensure that the ISS cable is not twisted through the access hole.

Note:

The ISS must be assembled and powered before you can test the console connection.

3. Test the connections between the ISS and the console.

Spin the wind cups and change the direction of the vane. If the ISS is
powered and the connection between the ISS and the console is correct,
you should see the wind direction and speed fields changing. Tip the rain
bucket back and forth. You should see rain registering. Also check the
outside temperature and outside humidity readings, as well as readings
for the optional solar and UV sensors, if installed in your station.

Note:

If you are installing a wireless station, you will be checking communications between your
console, ISS and any optional wireless stations when you perform the Setup Mode instructions
located in the next chapter. See “Setup Mode” on page 11
