5. Raise the ISS unit to the desired height on the pole and swivel it so the
anemometer arm is pointing north.
6. Using an adjustable wrench or 7/16" wrench, tighten all four hex nuts until the
ISS is firmly fastened on the pole.
7. When installing the ISS as a single unit, we recommend tucking the coil of
anemometer cable between the rain collector cone and the ISS base, or securing it
to the pole.
Option 2: Installing ISS Only
1. While holding the mounting base against the pole, place the two ends of a U-bolt
around the pole and through the two holes in the base.
2. Slide the metal backing plate over the bolt ends as they stick out toward the rain
collector cone. Secure the backing plate with a washer, a lock washer, and a hex
nut on each of the bolt ends. Do not tighten the nuts yet.
3. For the wireless ISS, swivel the ISS base so the solar panel is facing south (in the
Northern Hemisphere), or north (in the Southern Hemisphere). (Not needed for
cabled systems.)
4. Tighten the hex nuts using an adjustable wrench or 7/16" wrench.
Option 3: Installing Anemometer Only
1. While holding the mounting base against the pole, place a U-bolt around the pole
and through the two holes in the base.
2. Place a flat washer, a lock washer and a hex nut loosely on each of the bolt ends.
3. Swivel the anemometer until the arm is pointing north.
4. Tighten the hex nuts using an adjustable wrench or 7/16" wrench.
Note:
If your anemometer arm cannot be mounted aiming true north, you will need to
calibrate the wind direction on your console to display accurate wind directions. See
your
Vantage Pro2 Console User Manual.
