OCATION
This step assumes that your ISS is already mounted. If it is in a high location
such as a rooftop, please read through the instructions before climbing up, and
watch your balance while completing these tasks.
Disconnecting Anemometer from ISS Transmitter
On the rain collector side,
underneath the white
mounting base is the radia-
tion shield. It consists of sev-
eral white plastic plates. To
disconnect the anemometer
from the ISS transmitter,
remove the lower three
plates:
1. Remove the wing nuts, lock
washers and flat washers.
2. Remove the first three plates of
the radiation shield.
You should now be able to
see the SIM.
3. Unplug the anemometer cable
from the receptacle labeled
“WIND” on the SIM.
Reassembling Radiation Shield
1. Slide the two open plates over
the threaded studs.
2. Slide the single closed plate over
the threaded studs.
Ease the antenna through the
antenna deployment hole.
3. Place a flat washer, lock washer
and wing nut over one of the
studs.
Tip: temporarily place a
wing nut on one of the studs
to hold the plates while you
place washers and a wing
nut on another stud.
4. Finger-tighten the wing nut.
5. Repeat #3. and #4. until all three wing nuts are secure.
