Check SIM Sensor Connections
6
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 SIM.
2. If the station includes UV and/or solar radiation sensors, verify that the sensor cables
are plugged into the receptacles labeled UV and SUN on the SIM.
Connect the Anemometer Cable to the SIM
1. Unwind the coil of cable enough to work with the anemometer. Do not unwind the
entire coil of anemometer cable just yet.
2. Pull the foam insert out of
cable access port in
between the cables and set
the foam insert aside.
3. Insert the anemometer
cable end into the cable
access port from beneath
the SIM box.
Slide the cable through the
cable access port with the
connector lever down.
4. Firmly insert the end of the
anemometer cable into the
connector labeled WIND.
The lever clicks into place.
5. Make sure that the cables
lie flat on the bottom the
cable access port.
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 for weather or insects.
Note:
If you are assembling a cabled station, wait to reinsert the foam until cable assembly is complete.
See “Cabled ISS Assembly” on page 7.
Once the sensor connections have been checked and the anemometer cable has been
inserted, a connection between the ISS and the Vantage Pro2 console must be made.
7. Read the following instructions that best apply to your ISS and Vantage Pro2 assem-
bly:
•
See “Cabled ISS Assembly” on page 7 for assembling Vantage Pro2 weather stations
that contain a cabled connection between the ISS and the console.
•
See “Wireless ISS Assembly” on page 9 for assembling Vantage Pro2 weather sta-
tions that use a wireless connection to transmit and receive data.
