INSTALLATION STEPS
• Secure one side or both sides of your ISS to the support tube, page 2
• Mount the extension tube, page 3
• Install the support tube on the extension tube, page 4
SECURE THE ISS TO THE SUPPORT TUBE
The support tube is 19-1/2" (0.5 m) long, and has a swaged end. After you
secure one or both sides of your ISS to the support tube, this end will be
inserted into the top of the extension tube. Make sure the swaged end of the
support tube is pointing downward as you secure the ISS (or other sensor
array).
The ISS comes with U-bolts, washers, and hex nuts for the purpose of mount-
ing it on a pole. Consult your ISS Installation Manual for detailed instructions.
Remember, when mounting both sides together, that whichever side of the
ISS is mounted first, the U-bolt from the opposite side ALSO must be placed
around the pole before you tighten anything. (If it is not, there is no way to
slide it in later.)
If you wish to put the anemometer higher than the rain collector side of your
ISS on the support tube, follow the instructions in the ISS Installation Manual
for mounting each side separately.
The anemometer arm must point northward or you will have to re-orient the
wind vane after mounting. (As shown in Appendix C in the ISS manual.)
