Verifying Data from the ISS Sensors
Use these steps to verify reception of ISS data at the wireless Vantage Pro2 console
and to test the operation of the ISS sensors.
1. If the console is in Setup Mode, press and hold DONE until the Current Weather
screen displays. A flashing “X” in the lower right hand corner indicates that the
console is receiving data packets. This may take a few minutes.
Sensor readings from the ISS should display on the screen.
2. Near the center of the screen, look for the outside temperature (TEMP OUT).
3. Spin the wind cups to check wind speed, pressing WIND if necessary to alternate
between speed and direction in the compass rose.
4. Turn the wind vane, and allow 5 seconds for the wind direction display to
stabilize before moving it again.
5. Approximately one minute after receiving data, the outside relative humidity
(HUM OUT) reading should be displayed on the console.
6. If the ISS contains a UV sensor and/or solar radiation sensor, press 2ND and then
press RAIN YR for current ultraviolet readings or press 2ND then press RAIN
DAY for solar radiation readings.
7. The UV reading displays in the center of the console. The solar reading displays
in the bottom right corner of the console display. UV and solar readings should be
zero or close to zero if the ISS is inside. Zero is a valid reading — dashes are
displayed if no data comes from the sensors.
8. Current weather data displayed on the console confirms successful
communication.
Once the ISS has been powered and the console has successfully received accurate
readings from all the sensors, prepare the ISS for installation. Continue on to “Plan
the ISS Installation” on page 20 for more information.
If there is a communication problem between the wireless ISS and the console, see
“Troubleshooting Wireless ISS Reception.” below.
