Installation manual

Attach the Wind Cups to the Anemometer

The Vantage Vue anemometer measures wind speed. The wind cups are mounted on

the anemometer shaft on the top of the ISS assembly.

1. Gently slide the wind cup

assembly down onto the

anemometer’s stainless steel

shaft as far as it will go, as

shown.

2. Use the Allen wrench provided

to tighten the set screw near the

top of the “hub” section of the

wind cups, as shown. Ensure

that the set screw is screwed in

fully and is tight.

3. Pull gently on the hub to ensure

that the anemometer is securely

fastened to the shaft.

4. Spin the wind cups to make sure they spin freely.

Note: If the wind cups don’t spin freely, loosen the set screw, remove them from the shaft, and repeat the wind

cup installation process.

Attach the Wind Vane

The Vantage Vue wind vane measures wind direction. The wind vane is mounted on

a stainless steel shaft on the opposite side of the ISS assembly from the wind cups.

1. Hold the ISS assembly on its side

with the anemometer and

radiation shields on your left, the

wind vane shaft on your right and

the wind cups away from you.

2. When the ISS is held in this man-

ner, the wind vane shaft is horizon-

tal, and will orient itself so that its

flat side will be facing to the right,

as shown.

3. Holding the ISS assembly with

your left hand, grasp the wind

vane with your right hand so that the “arrowhead” end is pointed down.

4. Gently slide the wind vane onto the wind vane shaft, rotating the wind vane

slightly left and right if necessary, until the end of the shaft is visible and protrudes

slightly from the bottom surface of the wind vane.

5. Secure the wind vane to the shaft by firmly tightening the wind vane set screw

with the Allen wrench provided.
