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
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.

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- |

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.
