Installing on a Vantage Pro2 ISS
Note: If you have an original Vantage Pro, see instructions on the following page.
This shows installation of the Sensor Mounting Shelf before either the Solar Radiation or
UV Sensor has been attached to it. The sensors may be mounted on the shelf before it is
installed on the ISS. Refer to your sensor manual for instructions. It makes no difference
which sensor is mounted on the right/left side of the shelf. After the sensors are installed,
guide the sensor cables through the inside holes at the rear of the rain collector base.
Note: Final leveling of the sensors should be done after the ISS is mounted in its operating location.
Note: In the illustration, the Rain Collector Cone has been removed for clarity. It is not necessary to
remove the cone to install the Sensor Mounting Shelf.
1. Place a support tube on each of
the outside mounting holes at
the rear of the rain collector
base as illustrated.
#10-24 Nuts
Support Tubes
Shelf
#10 Flat Washer
#10 Lock Washer
#10-24 x 7-3/4" Screws
2. Place a lock washer and a flat
washer onto one of the 7-3/4"
screws.
3. Locate the support tube mount-
ing holes in the shelf. Refer to
the illustration on page 2.
4. With the shelf support tube
hole centered over the tube,
insert the screw through the
shelf, the tube and the base.
5. Place a nut in the opening of
the hexagonal recess on the
underside of the base.
6. Turn the screw until the assem-
bly is loosely held together.
7. Repeat steps 1–6 with the sec-
ond support tube and screw.
8. On the underside of the Sensor
Mounting Shelf, verify that the
tops of both support tubes are
located inside the circular
recesses in the shelf.
9. Tighten both support tube screws.
Note: Do NOT install the shelf using the holes in front of the Rain Collector Cone, as this will impair
radio reception.
