The outer plating 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.

To thoroughly clean the radiation shield:
1. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, loosen 

the two 4'' screws holding the five radiation 
shield plates together, as shown in the figure 
at right.

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.

3. Reassemble the plates in the same order in 

which they were disassembled, and fasten 
them together using a Phillips head screw-
driver to tighten the 4'' screws, as shown in 
the illustration.

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 your Vantage Vue Con-
sole Manual for instructions on clearing weather data if you suspect this is occuring.

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.
