2. Ensure that the ISS cable is not twisted through the access port.
Note: The ISS must be assembled and connected to the console so that it is receiving
power before the console connection can be tested.
Once the console and ISS are both powered up, cable connection should be tested and
established.
Once the console is powered, it automatically enters Setup Mode. You can step through
the Setup Mode options, or exit the Setup Mode to test the connection and sensor read-
ings in Current Weather Mode. See “Setup Mode” on page 9 for Setup Mode options.
See “Current Weather Mode” on page 18 for viewing and verifying current weather
data coming from the cabled console.
To verify that the console is receiving data from the ISS through the console connec-
tion, see “Cabled ISS Assembly” in the Integrated Sensor Suite Installation Manual.
Console Location
Place the console in a location where the keyboard is easily accessible and the display
is easy to read. For more accurate readings:
•
Avoid placing the console in direct sunlight. This may cause erroneous inside tem-
perature and humidity readings and may damage the unit.
• Avoid placing the console near radiators or heating/air conditioning ducts.
• If you are mounting the console on a wall, choose an interior wall. Avoid exterior
walls that tend to heat up or cool down depending on the weather.
• If you have a wireless console, be aware of possible interference from cordless
phones or other devices. To prevent interference, maintain a distance of 10 feet
between the Vantage Pro2 console and a cordless phone (handset and base).
• Avoid positioning a wireless console near large metallic appliances such as refrig-
erators, televisions, heaters, or air conditioners.
• The console antenna does not rotate in a complete circle. Avoid forcing the console
antenna when rotating it.
Table & Shelf Placement
The console kickstand can be set to three different angles allowing five different dis-
play angles.
1. Install the two round rubber feet on the bottom of the console. The rubber feet help
prevent damage to furniture and surfaces.
