To put your console in Setup Mode:
At your Vantage Pro2 console, press and hold DONE and then press the 
down arrow (-) to put the console in Setup Mode. This prevents the 
reception of erroneous data while you are removing the ISS.
Note:
If the console acquires erroneous data during the upgrade, see Take the Console Out 
of Setup Mode on page 16 for instructions on clearing data. Additional information on 
clearing console data can be found in the Vantage Pro2 Console Manual.
Take Down the ISS
Please work on your Vantage Pro2 ISS in a safe place. If you are installing the 
Daytime Fan Kit on an ISS that has already been placed into service, you will 
need to take down the ISS from its sited location and move it to a convenient 
and safe place to perform the installation. 
To disassemble the ISS:
1. Locate the Sensor Interface 
Module (SIM) housing cover 
on the side of ISS and open it.
2. Disconnect the Solar Panel
wire on the SIM cover from 
the SIM board by pulling the 
Solar Panel connector.
3. Pull the foam insert out of the
cable access port in between 
the cables and set the foam 
insert aside.
4. Disconnect the anemometer
cable from the sensor 
connector labeled WIND and, 
if you are using a cabled 
model, disconnect the console 
cable from the SIM and slide 
the cables out of the cable 
access port.
5. You can now remove the ISS from its mounted position. Move it to a safe
place to install the kit components.
