Installation Options
There are several ways to mount and install the ISS unit. The following installations
are recommended. Individual ISS locations and installations may vary.
•
Installing the ISS and anemometer on a post or flat surface
•
Installing the ISS and anemometer on a pole, together or separately
Note: All installations require that the rain collector cone be removed for assembly. Use the
built-in bubble level to ensure the main part of the ISS is level.
Installing the ISS and Anemometer on a Flat Surface
Install the rain collector mounting base:
1. With a 3/16" (5 mm) drill bit, drill two holes approximately 2
1
/
8
" (54 mm) apart.
Use a carpenter’s level to ensure the holes are level.
Use the metal backing plate as a guide when marking the holes.
2. Remove the rain collector cone if it is installed on the ISS mounting base.
3. Insert the 1/4" x 3" lag screws through the metal backing plate and the holes in the
mounting base into the post. Make sure the ISS is level by checking the built-in
bubble level.
4. Tighten the lag screws using an adjustable wrench or 7/16" wrench.
