Preparing the ISS for Installation: Prepare the Rain Collector

6. If the LED flashes repeatedly but your console isn’t picking up a signal anywhere in

the room, it could be related to one of the following causes:

• You changed the ISS transmitter ID at the ISS or console, but not at both.

• Reception is being disrupted by RF (radio frequency) interference.

Interference has to be strong to prevent the console from receiving a signal

while in the same room as the ISS! In high-interference environments, it may

be preferable to install the Cabled Vantage Pro.

• There is a problem with the console.

7. If you are unable to resolve a problem with the wireless transmission, please contact

Technical Support for assistance (see page 18).

8. When you are finished testing wireless transmission, set DIP switch # 4 to OFF to

take the SIM out of Test Mode.

Note: If the SIM is left in Test Mode, the blinking LED will significantly reduce ISS battery life.

Prepare the Rain Collector

Prepare the rain collector by releasing the tipping bucket.

The tipping bucket is secured at the factory to protect it

from wear and damage during shipping.

1. Remove the rain collector cone from the ISS base by

rotating the cone counter-clockwise. When the cone’s

latches line up with openings in the base, lift the cone

off the ISS base.

Note:When new the cone fits tightly in the base and may require

extra pressure to remove the first few times.

Tip: Steady the ISS base between your knees when removing the cone.

2. On Vantage Pro Plus, the UV and solar radiation sensor cables are routed through

the ISS base. Please make sure the cables are not moved during this procedure.

Make sure the cables do not interfere with the tipping bucket mechanism or with your

ability to get the cone latched back onto the base.

3. Carefully cut and remove the plastic

cable tie (usually black in color) that holds

the tipping bucket mechanism in place

during shipping.

4. On your console screen, look for DAILY

RAIN display.

5. While watching the daily rain display,

slowly tip the bucket mechanism until it

drops to opposite side. Each tip indicates

0.01" of rain and may take up to 10 sec-

onds to register at the console. If the

number doesn’t change, you may be tip-

ping the bucket too quickly. Try again,

more slowly this time.

6. Temporarily reinstall rain collector cone until you are ready to mount the ISS outside.
