ment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turn-

ing the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of

the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Introduction

The Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) collects outside weather data and sends the data to

a receiver such as a Vantage Pro2 console. The wireless ISS can also transmit data to

wireless Vantage Connect, Vantage Vue console, Envoy8X, or wireless Weather

Envoy. The wireless ISS is solar-powered and sends data via radio. The cabled ISS

sends data via cable to one cabled Vantage Pro2 console, cabled Weather Envoy, or

cabled Vantage Connect and receives power via the console, Envoy or Vantage

Connect cable.

Tip: One wireless ISS can transmit to any number of wireless receivers within its range.

The ISS includes a rain collector, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, anemometer,

and solar radiation sensor. Temperature and humidity sensors are mounted in a 24-

Hour Fan-Aspirated Radiation Shield to minimize the impact of solar radiation on

sensor readings. The anemometer measures wind speed and direction and can be

installed adjacent to the ISS or apart from it. See “Locating the ISS and

Anemometer” on page 19 for siting guidelines.

The transmitter shelter contains the “brain” of the ISS: the sensor interface and the

transmitter. It collects outside weather data from the ISS sensors and then transmits

the data to your Vantage Pro2 console, Vantage Vue console (wireless only),

Weather Envoy, Envoy8X (wireless only), or Vantage Connect.

Included Components and Hardware

The ISS comes with all the components and hardware shown in the following

illustrations.

Components

Note: Try not to touch the small white diffuser on top of the solar radiation sensor. Oil from

skin reduces its sensitivity. If you are concerned that you have touched the diffuser at

any time during the installation, clean the diffuser using a soft, damp cloth.

Prepare the ISS for Installation

Follow the steps in the order they are presented as each builds on tasks completed in

previous steps.

Tip: Use a well-lit work table or work area to prepare the ISS for installation.

Assemble the Anemometer

The anemometer measures wind direction and speed. The anemometer arm comes

partially assembled with the wind vane attached.

Note: Do not remove the vane.

Please locate the following parts to prepare the anemometer:

• Anemometer arm (wind vane and cable already attached)

• Anemometer base

• Wind cups

• Allen wrench (0.05")

• #4 machine screw, #4 tooth-lock washer, #4 hex nut

Attach the Anemometer Arm to Base

1. Insert the anemometer arm into the base, sliding the cable through the notch in the

base as shown in illustration.

2. Be sure to line up the small hole in the arm with the holes in the base.

3. Insert the machine screw through the holes in the base and arm. It may be helpful

to use a screwdriver to insert the screw.

IMPORTANT:

4. Slide the tooth-lock washer and hex nut onto the machine screw. Tighten the hex

nut while holding the screw with a Phillips head screwdriver to prevent it from

turning.

5. Press the sensor cable firmly and completely into the zig-zagging channel in the

base, starting from the arm and progressing downward to the bottom of the base.

This provides strain relief for the cable.

Attach the Wind Cups

1. Push the wind cups up onto the anemometer’s stainless steel shaft, sliding them

up the shaft as far as possible.

2. Use the Allen wrench provided to firmly tighten the set screw on the side of the

wind cups.

The wind cups should drop slightly when you let go.

3. Spin the wind cups. If they spin freely, the anemometer is ready and can be set

aside while you prepare the rest of the ISS for installation.

Note: If the wind cups don’t spin freely, take them off and repeat the wind cup installation

process.

Check Sensor Interface Connections and Connect the

Anemometer Cable

The sensor interface is located in the transmitter shelter on the front of the ISS. It

contains all the connections for the weather sensors of the ISS. Follow the steps

below to check the sensor interface and ensure that all sensors are connected

properly.

Open the Transmitter Shelter

1. Locate the white box with the solar

panel containing the sensor interface

on the front of the ISS unit. The cabled

model does not have a solar panel.

2. Locate the white tab at the bottom

center of the shelter cover.

3. Pull the tab away from the box while

sliding the cover up.

4. Look on the side of the shelter. The box

cover can be easily removed from the

box when the alignment indicator on

the cover is lined up with the alignment

indicator on the box

5. Pull the cover off the box, being

careful not to stress the solar panel

cable when removing the cover.

6. The sensor interface is visible once the

cover has been removed.

Note: See “Sensor Interface” on page 41 for information on locating the components and

points of interest on the sensor interface.

Optional: Disconnect the solar panel

connection wire (wireless versions).

The solar panel on the box cover is

connected to the sensor interface by a

wire. If the cover cannot be set aside

while still connected to the sensor

interface safely, the cable can be

disconnected.

Check the Factory Installed Sensor Connections

1. Verify that the rain collector and temperature/humidity sensor cables are plugged

into the receptacles labeled RAIN and TEMP/HUM on the sensor interface.

2. Verify that the solar radiation sensor cable is plugged into the receptacles labeled

SUN on the sensor interface.

Connect the Anemometer Cable to the Sensor Interface

Note: The anemometer comes with 40 feet (12 meters of cable to allow for mounting the

anemometer separately from the rain collector and other sensors. The cable is coiled

and secured at the factory with enough cable unwound from the coil to allow you to

work with it and to allow the anemometer to be mounted on the same pole as the rain

collector.

1. Remove the protective cap from the RJ jack on the anemometer cable.

2. Pull the foam insert out of

cable access port and set

it aside.

3. Insert the anemometer

cable end into the cable

access port from beneath

the box.

4. Slide the cable through

the cable access port with

the connector lever down.

5. Firmly insert the end of

the anemometer cable

into the connector labeled

WIND. The lever clicks

into place.

6. Firmly insert the foam in

between the cables and at

the top of the cable access

port, taking care to ensure

that the foam seals the

access port entirely, leaving no holes or gaps large enough for weather or insects.

You may have to stack the cables to allow the foam to fit.

Note: If you are assembling a cabled station, wait to reinsert the foam until cable assembly is

complete. See “Cabled ISS Assembly” on page 11.

Prepare the Rain Collector

The tipping mechanism is secured at the factory to protect it from damage during

shipping.

Note: Be careful not to scratch the silver-colored coating on the tipping spoons under the

cone.

1. Remove the rain collector cone from the

ISS base by rotating the cone counter-

clockwise. When the cone’s latches line

up with openings in the base, lift the cone

off the ISS base.

Tip: When new, the cone fits tightly in the base and may require extra pressure to

remove. Steady the ISS base between your knees when removing the cone.

2. Carefully cut and remove the plastic tie that holds the tipping spoons in place

during shipping (usually yellow or white in color).

3. If desired, insert the

Metric Measurement

Adapter. See

“Optional: Insert the

Metric Measurement

Adapter” on page 9.

4. Temporarily reinstall

the rain collector cone

until you are ready to

mount the ISS outside.
