Wireless ISS Assembly

The ISS has a wireless connection to a Vantage Pro2 wireless console. Once the anemometer has been installed and the sensors have been checked, the ISS must be powered and a wireless communication channel must be established between the ISS and the console. Follow the steps below for powering the ISS and establishing a connection to the console.

Applying Power to a Wireless ISS

Verifying Communications with the Console

Verifying Data from the ISS Sensors

Troubleshooting ISS Reception

Applying Power to a Wireless ISS

1.Insert the 3-volt lithium battery into the SIM.

Once powered, the ISS immediately begins transmitting data to the console.

Be sure to match the “+” sign on the battery with the “+” sign on the SIM. See “SIM Board Display and Contents” on page 30.

The SIM stores energy from the solar panel for power at night. The battery is an alternative power source the SIM uses when it is depleted of energy.

Checking Transmitter ID

 

 

 

 

A Vantage Pro2 console can receive data from up

 

 

 

 

to eight different wireless stations. The default

ON

 

 

 

Transmitter ID for the ISS and console is 1.

In most cases it will not be necessary to change the Transmitter ID. The console and ISS should

begin communicating automatically when power is applied.

Settings for Transmitter ID 1:

DIP Switch 1 = OFF

DIP Switch 2 = OFF

DIP Switch 3 = OFF

Note:

If it is necessary to change the Transmitter ID, remember to use the same ID for the ISS and con-

 

sole. See “SIM Board Display and Contents” on page 30 for locating the components and points of

 

interest on the SIM board.

 

 

Verifying Communication with the Console

1.Power the console if it does not already have power. Refer to the Vantage Pro2 Console Manual and apply power the console.

The console automatically enters Setup Mode when powered up.

2.If the console is not in Setup Mode, press and hold DONE then press the down arrow. The message RECEIVING FROM... and STATION NO. followed by the Transmitter IDs that the console detects displays on the console screen.

3.Look for the ISS Transmitter ID. The number 1 displays unless the Transmitter ID has been changed. If the console displays the ISS Transmitter ID, the ISS is detected.

Note:

If the console does not display the number of the ISS Transmitter ID setting, see “Troubleshooting

 

Wireless ISS Reception” on page 10 for more information. It can take several minutes for the con-

 

sole to acquire and display all the available Transmitter IDs.

4. Press and hold DONE to view ISS data once the ISS Transmitter ID displays.
