Use these procedures to install the retrofit kit on an ISS that has the SIM
mounted inside the radiation shield.
Note:Use this procedure if your ISS has wing nuts on the bottom.
Procedure 1. Remove the ISS from its Installed Position.
In order to take down your ISS you will first need to disconnect the anemometer
cable. If you have a Cabled Vantage Pro station, you will also need to disconnect
the console cable from the ISS.
CAUTION:Please work on your Vantage Pro ISS in a safe place.
1. At your Vantage Pro console, press and hold the DONE key and then press
the “-” (down arrow) key to put the console in Setup Mode. This will pre-
vent the reception of erroneous rain counts from the rain collector.
2. If you have mounted the anemometer remotely from the ISS or if you have
a cabled ISS you will need to open the radiation shield. Remove the three
wing nuts and separate the upper and lower sections of the radiation
shield.
