Before Going Outside...
Before mounting the Integrated Sensor Suite, you will need to prepare sen-
sors, apply power, and test the connection between your ISS and the Vantage
Pro console. You may want to stay inside at a well-lit working table until ready
for “Choosing a Location to Mount the Integrated Sensor Suite” on page 16.
For ease of installation, please follow the steps in the order they are pre-
sented in the manual.
(Each step builds on tasks completed in previous steps.)
P REPARING THE A NEMOMETER
The anemometer measures wind direction and speed. The wind vane is
already attached to the anemometer arm, but you will need to install the wind
cups and attach the arm to the base.
Please locate the following parts to prepare the anemometer:
✦ Anemometer arm (wind vane and cable already attached)
✦ Anemometer base
✦ Wind cups
✦ Drip ring
✦ Allen wrench (0.05")
✦ #4 machine screw, #4 tooth-lock washer, #4 flat washer, #4 hex nut
Attaching Anemometer Arm to Base
1. Insert the anemometer arm into the base, sliding the cable through the notch in the
base as shown in illustration on the next page.
Be sure to line up the small hole in the arm with the holes in the base.
2. Insert the machine screw through the holes in the base and arm.
