Installing the Daytime Fan Kit

3

Put Console in Setup Mode

1. At your Vantage Pro2 console, press and hold DONE and then press the 

down arrow ( - ) to put the console in Setup Mode. This prevents the 
reception of erroneous data while you are removing the ISS.

Note: 

If the console acquires erroneous data during the upgrade, refer to “Take the Console 
Out of Setup Mode” for instructions on clearing data. Additional information on clear-
ing and setting console data can be found in the 

Vantage Pro2 Console Manual

.

Take Down the ISS

Please work on your Vantage Pro2 ISS in a safe place. We strongly recom-
mend that you take the ISS down from its sited location before beginning 
the upgrade. If you are installing the Daytime Fan Kit on an ISS that has 
already been placed into service, you will need to take down the ISS from 
its sited location and move it to a convenient and safe place to perform the 
installation. 

To dissassemble the ISS:

1. Locate the Sensor 

Interface Module (SIM) 
housing cover on the 
side of ISS and open it..

2. Disconnect the Solar 

Panel wire on the SIM 
cover from the SIM 
board by pulling the 
Solar Panel connector

3. Pull the foam insert out 

of the cable access port 
in between the cables 
and set the foam insert 
aside.

4. Disconnect the ane-

mometer cable from the 
sensor connector 
labeled WIND and, if 
you are using a cabled model, disconnect the console cable from the 
SIM.

5. You can now remove the ISS from its mounted position. Move it to a 

safe place to install the kit components. 

Disassemble the Standard Radiation Shield

Note: 

We recommend using a workbench or table to perform the following procedures.

1. Open and remove the SIM cover if you have not done so already. 

Lift off cover,
unplug solar power
connector

Dettaching the SIM Cover
