Vantage Pro 2
Follow the procedures listed below to install a Sensor Mounting Shelf on a Vantage Pro 2
ISS.
1. Place a support tube on each
of the outside mounting
holes at the rear of the rain
collector base. Refer to the
illustration opposite.
2. Place a lock washer and a flat
washer onto one of the
7-3/4" screws.
3. Locate the support tube
mounting holes in the shelf.
Refer to the illustration on
the last page.
4. With the shelf support tube
hole centered over the tube,
insert the screw through the
shelf, the tube and the base.
5. Place a nut in the opening of
the hexagonal recess on the
underside of the base.
6. Turn the screw until the
assembly is loosely held
together.
7. Repeat steps 1–6 with the
second support tube and
screw.
8. On the underside of the Sen-
sor Mounting Shelf, verify
that the tops of both support tubes are located inside the circular recesses in the shelf.
9. Tighten both support tube screws.
Note:
In this illustration, the Rain Collector Cone has been removed for clarity. It is not necessary to
remove the cone to install the Sensor Mounting Shelf. Do
NOT
install the shelf using the holes in
front of the Rain Collector Cone, as this will impair reception. This manual shows installation of
the Sensor Mounting Shelf before either the Solar Radiation or UV Sensor has been attached to
it. The sensors may also be mounted on the shelf before it is installed on the ISS. Consult the
appropriate sensor manual for instructions. It makes no difference which sensor is mounted on
the right/left side of the shelf. After the sensors are installed, guide the sensor cables through the
inside holes at the rear of the rain collector base
. Final leveling of the sensors should be done
after the ISS is mounted in its operating location.
