Introduction
The Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) collects outside weather data and sends the data to a
Vantage Pro2 console or Weather Envoy. Wireless and cabled versions of the ISS are
available, as well as Standard and Plus versions. The Wireless ISS is solar powered and
sends data to the console via a low-power radio. The Cabled ISS sends data and receives
power via the console cable.
The Standard version of the ISS contains a rain collector, temperature sensor, humidity
sensor and anemometer. In addition to the standard weather features, the ISS Plus adds a
pre-installed solar radiation sensor and an ultra-violet (UV) radiation sensor. Temperature
and humidity sensors are mounted in a passive radiation shield to minimize the impact of
solar radiation on sensor readings. The anemometer measures wind speed and direction
and can be installed adjacent to the ISS or apart from it. See “Locating the ISS and
Anemometer” on page 15 for siting guidelines.
On an ISS Plus, the additional solar and UV sensors are mounted next to the rain
collector cone. Solar and UV sensors are available separately to upgrade a standard ISS.
The Sensor Interface Module (SIM) contains the “brains” of the ISS and the radio
transmitter. The SIM is located on the front of the radiation shield in the SIM box. The
SIM collects outside weather data from the ISS sensors and then transmits the data to
your Vantage Pro2 console or Weather Envoy.
