Preparing the ISS for Installation

Once all the sensors have been connected and communication between the ISS and

the console has been successfully established, continue to prepare the ISS unit for

installation. The steps for preparing the ISS for installation are as follows.

• Close the SIM Box

• Prepare the Solar Panel

• Prepare the Rain Collector

• Site the ISS and Anemometer

Close the SIM Box

To close the SIM box and continue assembling the ISS:

1. If the solar panel wire was disconnected during ISS assembly, reconnect the wire

on the SIM box cover to the solar panel tab on the SIM board.

Note: See “SIM Board Display and Contents” on page 29 for information on locating the solar panel tab.

2. Find the two raised alignment indica-

tor lines on both the SIM box and the

SIM box cover. Match these alignment

indicators as you place the cover

against the box.

3. Slide the cover down until it snaps

securely in place.

Prepare the Rain Collector

The tipping bucket is secured at the factory to protect it from

damage during shipping. To use the ISS properly, the bucket

must be released. To release the bucket:

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.

When new, the cone fits tightly in the base and may require

extra pressure to remove. Steady the ISS base between your

knees when removing the cone.
