Finishing the Installation
23
For the wireless ISS, swivel the ISS base so the solar panel is facing south (in the
Northern Hemisphere), or north (in the Southern Hemisphere).
3. Tighten the hex nuts using an adjustable wrench or 7/16" wrench.
4. Re-attach the rain collector cone.
Set the cone back on the base so its latches slide downward into the latch openings
on the base. Rotate the cone clockwise.
5. Place the debris screen (shown in the illustration on page 1) inside the cone, “feet-
down,” over the funnel hole.
Option 3: Installing Anemometer Only
1. While holding the mounting base against the pole, place a U-bolt around the pole
and through the two holes in the base.
2. Place a flat washer, a lock washer and a hex nut on each of the bolt ends.
3. Swivel the anemometer until the arm is pointing north.
Note: If your anemometer arm cannot be mounted aiming true north, you will need to calibrate the wind
direction on your console to display accurate wind directions. See your Vantage Pro2 Console Man-
ual.
Finishing the Installation
Level the Solar and UV Sensors
If you have a Vantage Pro2 Plus station that includes a solar radiation or UV sensor,
use the bubble level on the sensors as a guide to verify that the sensors are level.
Adjust the level by tightening or loosening the screws that hold each sensor onto the
shelf.
Note: If you are installing the solar or UV sensors separately, see the Sensor Mounting Shelf installation
manual and the Solar Radiation and UV Sensor installation manuals for more information.
Clearing Data Collected During Testing and Installation
Now that the ISS is mounted outside, any data that was collected in the Vantage Pro2
console during testing and mounting can be cleared.
To clear all the collected data on the console:
1. Press WIND so that graph icon appears adjacent to the wind data on the display.
Confirm that wind speed is displayed on the compass rose.
2. Press 2ND, then press and hold CLEAR for at least six seconds and until you see
“CLEARING NOW” in the console ticker display.
