The Vantage Vue® wireless Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) collects outside weather data
and sends the data wirelessly to a Vantage Vue console via a low-power radio. The ISS is
solar powered and includes a battery back-up.

The Vantage Vue ISS contains a rain collector, temperature/humidity sensor,
anemometer, and wind vane. The temperature/humidity sensor is mounted in a passive
radiation shield to minimize the impact of solar radiation on sensor readings. The
anemometer measures wind speed, and the wind vane measures wind direction.

The Sensor Interface Module (SIM) is housed within the ISS and comprises the “brains”
of the Vantage Vue system and the radio transmitter.

The SIM collects outside weather

data from the ISS sensors and transmits that data to your Vantage Vue console.

Note: Your Vantage Vue ISS can transmit to an unlimited number of consoles, so you can purchase addi-

tional consoles to use in different rooms. It can also transmit to Davis Vantage Pro2 consoles and
Davis Weather Envoys as well as Vantage Vue consoles.

Install the Battery

The Vantage Vue ISS SIM board stores energy from the solar panel for power at night. A 3­volt lithium battery provides a backup power source. The battery compartment is located on
the underside of the ISS base. The compartment cover is included in the hardware packet.

To install the ISS backup battery.

1. Insert the 3-volt lithium battery into
the ISS battery compartment, being
sure to match the “+” sign on the
battery with the “+” sign embossed
on the inside of the battery
compartment.

To verify power, wait 30 seconds
then push and release the white transmitter ID pushbutton next to the battery compartment.
The green transmitter ID LED next to the battery compartment will illuminate when you
press the pushbutton.

Note: Press the pushbutton once and release it. Do not press it multiple times or hold it down.

When you release the pushbutton, the LED will blink once (indicating transmitter ID 1),
then begin to flash every 2.5 seconds to show transmission of a data packet. This flashing
will stop within a few minutes to conserve battery life.

Note: If you have not already set up and powered your Vantage Vue console, do so before continuing with the

ISS installation. For best reception, the console and ISS should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) apart.

3. The console acquires the radio signal and populates data fields. This usually occurs quickly,

but in some enviromental conditions it can take up to 10 minutes.

Advanced Installations: Confirm the Transmitter ID of the ISS

Your Vantage Vue console can be used to listen to a Vantage Pro2 ISS instead of a Vantage
Vue ISS, and an optional anemometer transmitter kit.

Note: If you are using only the Vantage Vue console and ISS, and there are no other Davis weather stations

nearby, you can skip to “Verify Data from the ISS” on page 6.

In order to communicate, the console and ISS
must have the same transmitter ID. At the
factory, both IDs are set to a default of num­ber 1. To confirm the transmitter ID of your
Vantage Vue ISS:

13

1. Push and release the transmitter ID
pushbutton once. It will illuminate and go
off when you release it.

2. After a short pause, it will blink one or
more (up to 8) times. Note the number of

Note: The transmitter on the ISS and receiver on the console will communicate with each other only when both

are set to the same transmitter ID.

14

Note: If you hold the pushbutton too long and accidentally enter the “set new transmitter ID” mode when you did

not want to, simply release the pushbutton and wait four seconds. As long as you do not press the push­button again, the original transmitter ID will remain in effect.

Advanced Installations: Set a New Transmitter ID on the ISS

Note: In most cases, it will not be necessary to change the transmitter ID. If it is necessary to change the trans-

mitter ID, you must use the same ID for the ISS and console.

The Vantage Vue ISS transmits weather information to the Vantage Vue console using one of
eight selectable transmitter IDs. The default transmitter ID for both the ISS and the Vantage
Vue console is 1. Change the transmitter ID if another Davis Instruments wireless weather sta­tion is operating nearby and already uses transmitter ID 1, or if you have an optional Ane-

To set a new transmitter ID:

1. Push and hold the transmitter ID pushbutton until the LED begins flashing quickly. This
indicates it is in the setup mode.

2. Release the pushbutton, and the LED will go dark.

3. Push the pushbutton the number of times equal to your desired new transmitter ID. That is,
if you want to change the ID to “3,” push the pushbutton three times; for a desired ID of
“4,” push the pushbutton four times.

After four seconds have elapsed with no further presses, the LED will blink the same num-

ber of times as the new transmitter ID. (After blinking the transmitter ID number, the light
will begin to flash each time a packet is transmitted, about every 2.5 seconds.)

Installing of short range and long range Transmitters

The Vantage Vue ISS is standardly supplied with short range transmission modem. Install
short range modem by connecting of Vantage Vue ISS with FTP cable and attaching of ante­na.

NOTE: Vantage Vue ISS is supplying short range modem with energy through connection cable. Use short range

modem for distance of max. 25 m.

For long range distance over 25m use special RFD900 modem with CM921 transciever.
Install RFD900 inside Vantage Vue main board by using of LRM socket. RFD900 is supplied
by energy from main board of Vantage Vue.

Connect RFD900 to external CM921 transceiver.

CM921

15

NOTE: Special RFD900 modem with external CM921 transceiver can be used for long range distance up to 200m

of open area depending on weather conditions.

NOTE: RFD900 and CM921 are not supplied with standard version of Vantage Vue unit. You can order RFD900

and CM921 with special version Vantage Vue Pro+

Verify Data from the ISS

To verify reception of ISS data by the Vantage Vue console, you will need your powered-up

16

console and the ISS. For best reception, the console and ISS should be at least 10 feet (3
meters) apart.

1. If the console is in Setup Mode, press and hold DONE until the Current Weather screen

displays. The antenna icon appears under the wind compass rose. Watch this icon to see
that “transmission waves” appear, indicating reception of a packet.

Sensor readings from the ISS should display on the screen within a few minutes.

2. At the top right corner of the screen, look for the outside temperature.

3. Gently spin the wind cups to check wind speed, pressing the WIND button on the console

to alternate between speed and direction in the windcompass rose.

4. Gently turn the wind vane, and allow 5 seconds for the wind direction display to stabilize
before moving it again.

Note: A good way to ensure that your console is listening to your ISS and not another Davis station nearby, is to

make sure the wind values displayed match your wind vane’s direction in reference to the solar panels,
which are assumed to be facing south. For example, if you move the vane to point directly away from the
ISS, the console should show a wind direction of south; if you then turn the vane 180
back at the radiation shield, the wind direction on the console should change to nor th.

° so it is pointed

5. Approximately one minute after acquisition of the signal, the outside relative humidity
reading should be displayed on the console, below the outside temperature display.

6. Confirm rain display. On your console screen, select the RAIN DAY display. (See Vantage
Vue Console Manual.). Carefully hold your ISS over a sink and, while watching the RAIN
DAY display on your console, slowly pour one-half cup of water into the Rain Collector.
Wait two seconds to see if the display registers a rain reading.

Note: This method confirms that the rain display is functioning. It cannot be used to verify accuracy.

Installing the ISS

Choosing a Location for the ISS

The ISS assembly includes the rain collector, wind vane, anemometer, temperature and
humidity sensors, radiation shield, and SIM housing. You will use the U-bolt and associated
nuts and washers that are included with your ISS mounting hardware package to install the ISS
on a pole. (See “Hardware” on page 2.)

To ensure that the Vantage Vue weather station performs at its best, use these guidelines to
select the optimum mounting location for the ISS. Be sure to take into consideration ease of
access for maintenance and wireless transmission range when siting the station.

Note: When selecting a location for installing your ISS, especially on a rooftop, make sure it is a location far

from power lines. Seek professional help if you are uncertain about the safety of your installation.

ISS Installation Guidelines

Note: These siting guidelines reflect an ideal condition. Rarely is it possible to create the perfect installation.

The better the siting, the more accurate your data will be.

17

•Place the ISS away from sources of heat such as chimneys, heaters, air conditioners and
exhaust vents.

•Place the ISS at least 100' (30 m) away from any asphalt or concrete roadway that readily

absorbs and radiates heat from the sun. Avoid installations near fences or sides of build-

ings that receive a lot of sun during the day.

•Install the ISS as level as possible to ensure accurate rain and wind measurements. Use the
built in bubble level on the top of the ISS, just above the solar panel, to make sure the ISS
is level.

18

•In the Northern Hemisphere, the solar panel should face south for maximum sun exposure.

•In the Southern Hemisphere, the solar panel should face north for maximum sun exposure.

Hemisphere)

NORTH

(in the Southern

Hemisphere)

Note: If you install the ISS with the solar panel pointing in a direction other than south, you will need to use the

wind direction calibration function in the Vantage Vue console in order to obtain accurate wind direction
readings. See Vantage Vue Console Manual for more information.

Mounting the ISS

The Vantage Vue ISS can only be mounted on the top of a pole or rod.

Note: A mounting pole is not included with your Vantage Vue ISS and must be purchased separately, either

from Davis Instruments or from your local hardware retailer.

Recommended Accessories for Pole Mounting

• Use the Mounting Tripod (#7716) for easiest mounting.

General Guidelines for Installing on a Pol

lon-

the

• Use the Mounting Pole Kit (#7717) to raise the installation height of the ISS by up to

37.5" (0.95 m).

•With the supplied U-bolt, the ISS can be mounted on a pole or rod having an outside
diameter ranging from 1" to 1.75" (25 – 44 mm).

•To mount on a smaller pole, obtain a U-bolt that fits the base openings but that has a
ger threaded section. If mounting the ISS on a smaller pole with the included U-bolt,
threaded sections of the U-bolt will be too short to securely mount the ISS.

NOTE: Use display of remote controller to change settings of Vantage Vue Pro+ station.

NOTE: Use display of remote controller to see real time data from Vantage Vue Pro+ station.

21

Installing the ISS on a Pole

1. If you are mounting your ISS on a Davis Mounting Tripod or the pole included with a

22

Davis Mounting Pole Kit, follow the instructions included with those Davis products for
proper installation.

If you are not using one of these Davis products, mount on a galvanized steel pole having
an outside diameter ranging from 1" to 1.75" (25 – 44 mm).

Note: It is important that the mounting pole be plumb. You may wish to use a level such as a magnetic ”torpedo

level” to assure that the ISS, when mounted on top of the pole, will be level.

2. Using the illustration above as a guide, hold the ISS so that the wind cups and radiation
shield are on the left and gently place the ISS on top of the pole.

3. While holding the mounting base of the ISS against the pole, place the two ends of the U­bolt around the pole and through the two holes in the C-shaped bracket on the base.

4. Slide the metal backing plate over the bolt ends where they extend out from the far side of
the bracket.

5. Secure the backing plate with a lock washer and hex nut on each of the bolt ends, as shown
in the illustration.

6. Tighten the hex nuts with your fingers only so that the ISS is just secure enough on the
pole for you to release your grip.

Note: Always test remote rotaon of the meteo unit aer installaon to prevent
blocking of rotaon in strong wing condions. Slowly move with the levers to
the le and right before you will make full 360° rotaon.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Maintenance

Cleaning the Radiation Shield

The outer surface of the radiation shield should be cleaned when there is excessive dirt and
build-up on the plates. Use a damp cloth to clean the outer edge of each ring.

Note: Spraying down or using water excessively to clean the radiation shield can damage the sensitive sensors

or alter the data the ISS is transmitting.

Check the radiation shield for debris or insect nests at
least once a year and clean when necessary. A buildup
of material inside the shield reduces its effectiveness
and may cause inaccurate temperature and humidity
readings.

1. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, loosen the two
#6 x 2
plates together, as shown.

2. Taking care to maintain the order in which the five
plates are assembled, separate the plates as shown
and remove all debris from inside the shield.

To maintain accuracy, thoroughly clean the rain collector cone and debris screen as needed or
at least once a year.

Note: Cleaning the rain collector and tipping spoon may cause false rain readings. See “Clearing Data Col-

24

lected During Testing and Installation” on page 10.

1. Use a damp, soft cloth to remove any debris from the rain collector and debris screen.

2. Use pipe cleaners to clear any debris remaining in the screen.

3. When all parts are clean, rinse with clear water.

To clean the tipping spoon assembly, it must first be removed from the ISS base.

To maintain accuracy, thoroughly replace the wind speed sensor as needed or at least once a
month depending on air pollution or dust concetration.
