Connecting the Cabled Console to the
Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS)
The Vantage Pro comes with 100 feet (30m) of cable. Maximum cable length
from ISS to console is 1000 feet. See “Optional Accessories” on page 9 to pur-
chase additional cable.
1. Gently insert the console end of the 4-conductor wire into the console receptacle
marked “ISS” until it clicks into place.
• WARNING: Do not force the connector into the receptacle.
2. Ensure that the ISS cable is not twisted through the access hole.
3. Test the connections between the ISS and the console.
Spin the wind cups and change the direction of the vane. If the ISS is pow-
ered and the connection between the ISS and the console is correct, you
should see the wind direction and speed fields changing. Tip the rain bucket
back and forth. You should see rain registering. Check the other fields to
ensure you’re receiving from them, too.
Establishing reception between the Wireless Vantage Pro console
and the Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS)
As you position your console, be aware of possible interference from cordless
phones and other items. To prevent interference, maintain a distance of 10 feet
between the Vantage Pro console and the cordless phone (handset and base).
Also, for best reception, avoid positioning the console near large metallic sur-
faces (e.g., most refrigerator surfaces).
Please test communications between the Console/Receiver and the ISS (or
other transmitter) BEFORE permanently mounting your ISS. Remember that
the ISS transmits packets every few seconds. Therefore, there may be a 2 to 3
second delay before the console display updates. For more information about
locating the sensor transmitter and testing reception, consult the ISS or other
transmitter manual.
