Introduction
The Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) collects outside weather data and sends the data to a
Vantage Pro2 console or Weather Envoy. Wireless and cabled versions of the ISS are
available, as well as Standard and Plus versions. The Wireless ISS is solar powered
and sends data to the console via a low-power radio. The Cabled ISS sends data and
receives power via the console cable.
Note: If you are using a wireless ISS, it can transmit to a Vantage Pro2 console, as well as a Davis Van-
tage Vue console or Davis Weather Envoy. One ISS can transmit to any number of receivers within
its range, so you can add additional consoles to use in different rooms.
The standard version of the ISS contains a rain collector, temperature sensor,
humidity sensor and anemometer. In addition to the standard weather features, the
ISS Plus adds a pre-installed solar radiation sensor and an ultra-violet (UV) radiation
sensor. Temperature and humidity sensors are mounted in a passive radiation shield
to minimize the impact of solar radiation on sensor readings. The anemometer
measures wind speed and direction and can be installed adjacent to the ISS or apart
from it. See “Locating the ISS and Anemometer” on page 17 for siting guidelines.
On an ISS Plus, the additional solar and UV sensors are mounted next to the rain
collector cone. Separate solar and UV sensors are available to upgrade a standard ISS.
The Sensor Interface Module (SIM) contains the “brains” of the ISS and the radio
transmitter. The SIM is located on the front of the radiation shield in the SIM box. The
SIM collects outside weather data from the ISS sensors and then transmits the data to
your Vantage Pro2 console or Weather Envoy.
