This manual describes how to install the Anemometer Transmitter Kit for a Wire-
less Vantage Pro2

TM

 Weather Station. The kit enables you to connect the anemome-

ter from your Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) to its own transmitter, so it can be 
located away from the ISS and communicate directly with your console/receiver. 

Components

The Anemometer Transmitter Kit includes the following components and mounting 
hardware: 

Tools for Setup

In addition to the kit, you will need some or all of the following materials:

Adjustable wrench or 7/16" wrench

Compass or local area map

Ballpoint pen or paper clip (small pointed object of some kind)

Drill and 3/16" (5 mm) drill bit (if mounting on a vertical surface)

Carpenter’s level (if mounting on a vertical surface)

If You Are Installing the ISS and the Anemometer Transmitter Kit 
at the Same Time

Install your ISS first, following the instructions in the ISS manual. However, during 
the step “Preparing the ISS for Installation,” DO NOT connect the anemometer 
cable to the SIM. When you have mounted the rain collector side of the ISS and are 
ready to mount the anemometer, follow the instructions in this manual starting with 
“Preparing the Anemometer Transmitter” on page 3.
