Installing the ISS on a Pole

Option 2: Installing the Anemometer on a Post or Flat Surface

1.With a 3/16" (5 mm) drill bit, drill two holes approximately 2-1/8" (54 mm) apart. Use a carpenter’s level to ensure the holes will be level.

2.Insert the 1/4" x 3" lag screws through the flat washers and the holes in the anemometer mounting base into the post.

3.Tighten the lag screws using an adjustable wrench or 7/16" wrench.

If the anemometer arm is not pointing north, follow the instructions in “Appendix A: Re-orienting the Wind Vane” on page 28.

Installing the ISS on a Pole

When installing the ISS on a pole, the rain collector and radiation shield section of the ISS can be mounted as a single unit with the anemometer section, or the two sections can be mounted separately.

Refer to the following illustration when installing the ISS or anemometer on a pole.

Use the Mounting Tripod (#7716) for easy roof-mounting.

Use the Mounting Pole Kit (#7717) to raise the installation height of the ISS by up to 37.5" (0.95 m).

General Guidelines for Installing on a Pole

With the supplied U-bolts, the ISS can be mounted on a pole having an outside diameter ranging from 1-1/4" to 1-3/4" (32 – 44mm).

Larger U-bolts (not supplied) can be used to mount to a pole with a maximum out- side diameter of 2-1/2" (64mm).

To mount on a smaller pole, obtain a U-bolt that fits the base openings but that has a shorter threaded section. If mounting the ISS on a smaller pole with the included U-bolts, the bolt interferes with the rain collector cone.
