For Vantage Pro

or Vantage Pro Plus

The

Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS)

collects several types of weather readings

for display at your Vantage Pro

console. The data is sent to the console either

through a cable or by wireless transmission, depending on the version.

With Wireless Vantage Pro

, the Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) can be used as

one of eight sensor stations transmitting to your console/receiver(s). See

“Additional Mounting Options” and “Appendix A: Wireless Transmitter IDs”.

The Integrated Sensor Suite for Vantage Pro

measures weather conditions:

✦

Wind Speed

✦

Wind Direction

✦

Rainfall

✦

Outside Temperature

✦

Outside Humidity

The Integrated Sensor Suite for Vantage Pro

Plus

also measures:

✦

Ultraviolet Radiation (UV)

✦

Solar Radiation

Note:

To upgrade a Vantage Pro system to Vantage Pro Plus, see “Appendix B: Optional Accessories”.

For mounting purposes,

the Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) consists of two sides:

the anemometer and the rain collector side.

The rain collector side is a white plastic shelf with the black rain collector cone

on top and the white radiation shield below.

The two sides can be mounted either

together

on a single pole (see illustration at

the top of this page), or

separately

. The anemometer has 40' (12 m) of cable.

Note:

When both sides of the ISS are mounted together with the anemometer arm pointing north, the

solar panel on the rain collector side is facing south. In the Northern Hemisphere, this positions

the solar panel for optimal exposure to the sun. (In the Southern Hemisphere, you will need

to position the solar panel facing north for optimal sun exposure. When mounting both sides

together, this means pointing the anemometer arm south and re-orienting the wind vane.)

Additional Components on Vantage Pro

Plus

Vantage Pro

Plus

also includes an

ultraviolet (UV) sensor and a solar

radiation sensor. These two sensors are

on the rain collector side of your ISS.

Note:

Please make every effort when handling your

ISS not to touch the small white diffusers on

topof the UV and solar radiation sensors.Oil

from the skin will reduce their sensitivity.

Clean the diffusers using ethyl alcohol on a

soft cloth (NOT rubbing alcohol).

Once you have mounted the ISS in its

ﬁnal location, use the bubble level on

each sensor as a guide to verify that the

sensor is level. (To adjust, tighten or

loosen the screws holding the sensor on

the shelf.)

Each sensor has 3' (0.9

m) of cable. If you need to position the sun sensors away

from the rain collector side, use

extension cables #7876

Note:

Not all cables are compatible with your Vantage Pro system. To be sure they will work, order

Davis extension cables from your dealer or directly from Davis Instruments.

To upgrade your Vantage Pro to Vantage Pro

Plus,

see “Optional Sensors for

ISS” on page 28.

Before Going Outside...

Before mounting the Integrated Sensor Suite,

you will need to prepare sen-

sors, apply power, and test the connection between your ISS and the Vantage

Pro console. You may want to stay inside at a well-lit working table until ready

for “Choosing a Location to Mount the Integrated Sensor Suite” on page 16.

For ease of installation, please follow the steps in the order they are pre-

sented in the manual.

(Each step builds on tasks completed in previous steps.)

REPARING

THE

NEMOMETER

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")

✦

#4 machine screw, #4 tooth-lock washer, #4 ﬂat washer, #4 hex nut

Attaching Anemometer Arm to Base

1. Insert the anemometer arm into the base, sliding the cable through the notch in the

base as shown in illustration on the next page.

Be sure to line up the small hole in the arm with the holes in the base.

2. Insert the machine screw through the holes in the base and arm.

Page6 IntegratedSensorSuite

3. Slide the ﬂat washer, tooth-lock washer and hex nut onto the machine screw. Tighten

the hex nut while holding the screw with a Phillips screwdriver to prevent it from

turning.

4. Press the sensor cable ﬁrmly into the zig-zagging channel in the base, taking up any

slack between arm and base.

Make sure that you

press the anemometer cable down into the channel as

much as possible

so that the U-bolt used for mounting will not pinch or

cause wear on the cable.

Attaching Wind Cups to Anemometer Arm

The wind vane is situated at the end of the arm, on top of the anemometer

head. Underneath the anemometer head you will attach a black plastic drip

ring and the wind cups.

1. Slide the black plastic drip ring

onto the anemometer head. Gen-

tly push the drip ring up until it

clicks into place.

2. Makesure the loweredge of

the drip ring is aligned with

the lower edge of the ane-

mometer head.

3. Push the wind cups up onto the stainless steel shaft that is protruding downward.

4. Slide the wind cups up the shaft as far as possible.

5. Use the Allen wrench provided to tighten the set screw on the side of the wind cups.

When you let go of the wind cups, they should drop slightly.

6. Spin the wind cups.

NEMOMETER

Wind Vane Must Be Correctly Oriented

The wind vane rotates 360

°t

o display current and dominant wind directions on

the compass rose of your console screen. To display this information, the vane

must be

correctly oriented

when you mount the anemometer outside.

Ensure correct orientation of the wind vane in one of two ways:

1. Mount the anemometer so that the arm points north.

The wind vane will be ready for use immediately if you do this.

2. (If you want to mount your anemometer so that it aims toward a direction other than

north, you will need to remove the wind vane and re-attach it aiming toward the pre-

ferred direction. But don’t do this just yet —after you complete the remaining prep-

arations and mount the anemometer, follow the instructions in “Appendix C: Re-

orienting the Wind Vane”on page 29.)

The anemometer is now ready to be mounted,

you can set it aside while pre-

paring the rain collector side of the ISS.

DisassemblingtheRadiationShield Page9

ISASSEMBLING

THE

ADIATION

HIELD

The sensors are connected by cables to the

Sensor Interface Module

, or “SIM”,

located inside the radiation shield. The SIM contains electronics which mea-

sure and store weather values for transmission to the console via cable or radio

waves. The radiation shield’s white plastic plates protect the SIM from sun and

other sources of radiated and reﬂected heat, and from precipitation.

Before the ISS can be mounted,

you need to disassemble the radiation shield

to do the following tasks:

✦

Verify that the rain sensor cable is plugged in

✦

Connect the anemometer sensor cable to the Sensor Interface Module, or “SIM”

✦

Apply power to the ISS (different methods for cabled/wireless versions)

✦

Change the transmitter ID for wireless communication, if necessary

✦

Verify that your console is

receiving and displaying

data

Removing Radiation Shield

Plates

Disassemble the radiation

shield by removing the plates

as shown in the illustration.

1. Turn the rain collector side of

the ISS upside down. Locate

three wing nuts on the under-

side of the radiation shield.

2. Remove the wing nuts, lock

washers and ﬂat washers.

3. Remove the ﬁrst three plates of

the radiation shield.

You should now be able to

see the SIM.

WITH THE CONSOLE

Applying Power to ISS

The ISS receives power from the console via the 40' (12 m) cable that runs

between them. This cable can be extended by up to 1000' (305 m). Please plug

in the console’s AC adapter at this time, if you haven’t done so already. See the

Console Manual: “Cabled Vantage Pro Console Installation.”

✦On the SIM, gently insert one end of the 4-conductor cable into the receptacle

labeled “CONSOLE”.

✦On the back of your console/receiver, insert the other end of the cable into the

receptacle labeled “ISS”.
