3. Tighten the hex nuts using an adjustable wrench or 7/16" wrench.
4. Re-attach the rain collector cone.
Set the cone back on the base so its latches slide downward into the latch openings on
the base. Rotate cone clockwise.
5. Place the debris screen (shown in the illustration on page 2) inside the cone, "feet-
down," over the funnel hole.
Option 3: Installing Anemometer Only
1. While holding the mounting base against the pole, place a U-bolt around the pole and
through the two holes in the base.
2. Place a flat washer, a lock washer and a hex nut on each of the bolt ends.
3. Swivel the anemometer until the arm is pointing north.
If the anemometer arm is not pointing north, go to "Appendix A: Re-orienting the
Wind Vane" on page 28 after tightening the hex nuts.
4. Using an adjustable wrench or 7/16" wrench, tighten the hex nuts.
Finishing the Installation
Level the Solar and UV Sensors
If you have a Vantage Pro2 Plus station that includes a solar or UV sensor, use the bubble
level on the sensors as a guide to verify that the sensors are level.
Adjust the level by tightening or loosening the screws that hold the sensor onto the shelf.
Note: If you are installing the solar or UV sensors separately, see the Sensor Mounting Shelf installation
manual and the Solar Radiation and UV Sensor Installation manuals for more information.
Clearing Data Collected During Testing and Installation
Now that the ISS is mounted outside, any data that was collected in the Vantage Pro2
console during testing and mounting can be cleared.
To clear all the collected data in the console:
1. Press WIND on the console so that graph icon appears adjacent to the wind data on the
display.
2. Press 2ND, then press and hold CLEAR for at least six seconds and until you see
"CLEARING NOW" in the console ticker display.
