Cabled Sensor Suite Assembly

Apply Power and Verify Communication with the
Console
The 100' (30 m) console cable provides power to the sensor suite and is used to send
data from the sensor suite to the console. The console cable can be extended up to
1000' (305 m) in length with extension cables purchased from Davis Instruments.
With the console powered, plugging the cable into the console powers the sensor
suite and establishes communication between the sensor suite and the console.
1. Locate the 100' console cable included with your system.
2. Pull the foam insert out of cable access port, if it has been reinserted. Insert the
console connector cable end into the cable access port from beneath the sensor
interface box. Slide the cable through the cable access port with the connector tab
down.
3. On the sensor interface, firmly insert either end of the 4-conductor cable into the
modular receptacle labeled COMM.
4. If you haven't powered up the console yet, refer to the installation instructions in
the Vantage Pro2 Console User Manual and apply power to the console.
5. On the bottom of your console, insert the other end of the console cable into the
modular receptacle labeled "ISS."
6. Firmly insert the foam in between the cables and at the top of the cable access
port, taking care to ensure that the foam seals the access port entirely, leaving no
holes or gaps for weather or insects. See the graphic on page 9 for more
information on inserting the foam insert.
7. If the console is in Setup Mode, press and hold DONE until the Current Weather
screen displays. A flashing "X" in the lower left hand corner indicates that the
console is receiving data. Sensor readings from the sensor suite should display on
the screen.
