Install the ISS
The Vantage Vue ISS can only be mounted on the top of a pole or rod. You will use the
U-bolt and associated nuts and washers that are included with your ISS mounting
hardware package to install the ISS on a pole. (See “Hardware” on page 2.)
Note: A mounting pole is not included with your Vantage Vue ISS and must be purchased separately,
either from Davis Instruments or from your local hardware retailer.
Recommended Accessories for Pole Mounting
• Use the Mounting Tripod (#7716) for easiest mounting.
• Use the Mounting Pole Kit (#7717) to raise the installation height of the ISS by up to
37.5" (0.95 m).
General Guidelines for Installing on a Pole
• With the supplied U-bolt, the ISS can be mounted on a pole or rod having an outside
diameter ranging from 1" to 1.75" (25 – 44 mm).
• To mount on a smaller pole, obtain a U-bolt that fits the base openings but that has a
longer threaded section. If mounting the ISS on a smaller pole with the included U-bolt,
the threaded sections of the U-bolt will be too short to securely mount the ISS.
Installing the ISS on a Pole
1. If you are mounting your ISS on a Davis Mounting Tripod or the pole included with a
Davis Mounting Pole Kit, follow the instructions included with those Davis products for
proper installation.
If you are not using one of these Davis products, mount on a galvanized steel pole having
an outside diameter ranging from 1" to 1.75" (25 – 44 mm).
Note: It is important that the mounting pole be plumb. You may wish to use a level such as a magnetic
”torpedo level” to assure that the ISS, when mounted on top of the pole, will be level.
2. Using the illustration above as a guide, hold the ISS so that the wind cups and
radiation shield are on the left and gently place the ISS on top of the pole.
