Introduction
The Vantage Vue® wireless Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) collects outside weather data
and sends the data wirelessly to a Vantage Vue console via a low-power radio. The ISS is
solar powered and includes a battery back-up.
The Vantage Vue ISS contains a rain collector, temperature/humidity sensor,
anemometer, and wind vane. The temperature/humidity sensor is mounted in a passive
radiation shield to minimize the impact of solar radiation on sensor readings. The
anemometer measures wind speed, and the wind vane measures wind direction.
The Sensor Interface Module (SIM) is housed within the ISS and comprises the “brains”
of the Vantage Vue system and the radio transmitter. The SIM collects outside weather
data from the ISS sensors and transmits that data to your Vantage Vue console.
Note: Your Vantage Vue ISS can transmit to an unlimited number of consoles, so you can purchase addi-
tional consoles to use in different rooms. It can also transmit to Davis Vantage Pro2 consoles and
Davis Weather Envoys as well as Vantage Vue consoles.
