Additional Components on Vantage Pro Plus
The Vantage Pro2 Plus ™ includes an ultraviolet
(UV) sensor and a solar radiation sensor. These
two sensors are mounted next to the rain collec-
tor on your ISS.
See the Integrated Sensor Suite Installation
Manual about mounting and maintaining these
sensors.
Do not to touch the small white diffusers on top
of the UV and solar radiation sensors. Oil from
the skin reduces sensor sensitivity.
Tools for Installation
Refer to this section in your ISS Installation Manual for the tools needed to
assemble the ISS.
Preparing the ISS for Installation
Refer to this section in your ISS Installation Manual on assembling the ISS.
Preparing the SIM for Installation
The ISS sensors are connected by cables to the Sensor Interface Module
(SIM), located inside the SIM housing. The SIM contains electronics that
measure and store weather information for transmission to the console via
radio. The SIM housing protects the SIM from the elements and provides easy
access to the SIM cable connections.
See the ISS Installation manual on checking the sensor connections to the SIM
and for any additional sensor and wireless installation instructions.
Preparing the Rain Collector
1. Remove the rain collector cone from its base by
rotating the cone counter-clockwise until its
latches line up with openings which allow you
to lift it off. The cone fits in the base tightly and
may require extra pressure to remove it when
new.
Note: Steady the base between your knees when you rotate the rain collector.
