Use these steps to install the retrofit kit on an ISS that has the SIM mounted
externally in the SIM housing.
Note:Use this procedure if your ISS already has the SIM mounted in an external housing.
Procedure 1. Remove the ISS and SIM Housing from their
Installed Position.
You need to move the ISS to a safe place where you can disassemble the radia-
tion shield and replace the Temp/Hum sensor.
CAUTION:Please work on your Vantage Pro ISS in a safe place.
1.
At your Vantage Pro console, press and hold the DONE key and then press
the "-" (down arrow) key to put the console in Setup Mode. This will pre-
vent the reception of erroneous rain counts from the rain collector.
2.
Open the SIM housing and unplug the anemometer sensor cable, labeled
WIND.
3.
If you have a cabled station, unplug the console cable from the SIM.
4.
Remove the ISS and the SIM housing. Move them to a safe work area.
Procedure 2. Open the Radiation Shield
1.
Remove the three screws connecting the rain collector base from the
mounting bracket as shown below:
2.
Lift the rain collector base off of the mounting bracket.
Tip:
For easier re-assembly, mark the holes in the mounting bracket used by the
rain collector base, the holes used by the radiation shield, and the orientation of
the bracket relative to the radiation shield.
