Installing the ISS
Choosing a Location for the ISS
The ISS assembly includes the rain collector, wind vane, anemometer, temperature and
humidity sensors, radiation shield, and SIM housing. You will use the U-bolt and associated
nuts and washers that are included with your ISS mounting hardware package to install the ISS
on a pole. (See “Hardware” on page 2.)
To ensure that the Vantage Vue weather station performs at its best, use these guidelines to
select the optimum mounting location for the ISS. Be sure to take into consideration ease of
access for maintenance and wireless transmission range when siting the station.
Note: When selecting a location for installing your ISS, especially on a rooftop, make sure it is a location far
from power lines. Seek professional help if you are uncertain about the safety of your installation.
ISS Installation Guidelines
Note: These siting guidelines reflect an ideal condition. Rarely is it possible to create the perfect installation.
The better the siting, the more accurate your data will be.
Place the ISS away from sources of heat such as chimneys, heaters, air conditioners and
exhaust vents.
Place the ISS at least 100' (30 m) away from any asphalt or concrete roadway that readily
absorbs and radiates heat from the sun. Avoid installations near fences or sides of build-
ings that receive a lot of sun during the day.
Install the ISS as level as possible to ensure accurate rain and wind measurements. Use the
built in bubble level on the top of the ISS, just above the solar panel, to make sure the ISS
is level.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the solar panel should face south for maximum sun exposure.
In the Southern Hemisphere, the solar panel should face north for maximum sun exposure.
Note: If you install the ISS with the solar panel pointing in a direction other than south, you will need to use the
wind direction calibration function in the Vantage Vue console in order to obtain accurate wind direction
readings. See Vantage Vue Console Manual for more information.
