Locating the ISS and Anemometer

• If possible, align the pivot joints of both the ISS and the console antennas so that they
are facing each other for maximum signal strength.
• The ISS and console antennas do not rotate in a complete circle. Avoid forcing the
antennas when rotating it.
• Turn the gain on to improve reception of a weak signal. Refer to the Vantage Pro2
Console Manual for information on setting the console gain.
• Consider using a Wireless Repeater (#7626 or #7627) or Long-Range Wireless
Repeater (#7653 or #7654) to strengthen the signal or to increase the distance between
the ISS and the console.
Testing Wireless Transmission at ISS Location
After a suitable place has been found for the wireless ISS, it is very important to test
reception from the installation location before permanently mounting it there.
1. Set the ISS in the desired installation location.
2. Set the console in the desired location.
3. Press and hold TEMP and press HUM to display statistical and reception diagnostics
on the console.
• It’s a good idea to test the console’s reception anywhere that you might want to use
or mount it now or in the future. Take your time. If you aren’t picking up a strong
signal where you intend to place your console, try rotating the antenna on the con-
sole and ISS or try moving the console and ISS to different positions.
• Irregular terrain in the area may interfere with the signal. For example, if the ISS is
mounted downhill from the console, the ground may block a large percentage of
the transmitted signal.
4. Press and hold DONE to return to the Current Weather Mode when finished testing.
Note: See the Troubleshooting section of the Vantage Pro2 Console Manual for information on how to
check wireless signal strength and for more information on troubleshooting reception problems.

For best reception, orient antennas
so they are parallel to each other.

If your ISS is directly overhead,
the orientation illustrated
here might work best.
