Preparing the ISS for Installation
Please follow the steps in the order they are presented. Each step builds on tasks com-
pleted in previous steps.
Note: We recommend using a well-lit worktable to prepare the ISS for installation.
The steps to prepare the ISS for installation are:
• Assemble the anemometer
• Check the factory-installed sensor cable connections to the SIM.
• Connect the anemometer sensor cable to the Sensor Interface Module, or “SIM”.
• Apply power to the ISS and test communications with the console.
• Change the transmitter ID for wireless communication, if necessary
Assemble the Anemometer
The anemometer measures wind direction and speed. The wind vane is already attached
to the anemometer arm, but you will need to install the wind cups and attach the arm to
the base.
Please locate the following parts to prepare the anemometer:
• Anemometer arm (wind vane and cable already attached)
• Anemometer base
• Wind cups
• Drip ring
• Allen wrench (0.05")
