Installing the ISS and Anemometer on a Pole
When installing the ISS on a pole, the rain collector /radiation shield section of the
ISS and the anemometer can be mounted together as a single unit, or the two
sections can be mounted separately.
Accessories for Pole Mounting
• Use the Mounting Tripod (#7716) for easy roof-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-bolts, the ISS and anemometer can be mounted on a pole
having an outside diameter ranging from 1
1
/
4
" to 1
3
/
4
" (32 – 44mm).
• Larger U-bolts (not supplied) can be used to mount to a pole with a maximum
outside diameter of 2
1
/
2
" (64mm).
• To mount on a smaller pole, obtain a U-bolt that fits the ISS base openings but
that has a shorter threaded section. If mounting on a smaller pole with the
included U-bolts, the bolt interferes with the rain collector cone. The pole must be
sturdy enough to be stable. Any movement of the pole will affect wind and rain
data.
• Use the built-in bubble level to ensure ISS is level.
