General ISS Installation Guidelines

11

The Vantage Vue ISS can only be mounted on the top of a pole or solid round bar that 
is between 1.0 and 1.8 inches (25 - 46mm) in outside diameter.

• Use the Mounting Tripod (#7716) for easy roof-mounting. 
• 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 having an outside 

diameter ranging from 1" to 1.8" (25 – 46mm). 

• To mount on a smaller pole, obtain a U-bolt that fits the base openings but that 

has a longer threaded section. If mounting the ISS on a smaller pole with the 
included U-bolt, the threaded sections of the U-bolt will be too short to securely 
mount the ISS.

1. If you are mounting your ISS on a Davis Mounting Tripod (product number 7716) 

or the pole included with a Davis Mounting Pole Kit (product number 7717), 
follow the instructions included with those Davis products for proper installation.
If you are not using one of these Davis products, mount any galvanized steel pole 
having an outside diameter ranging from 1" to 1.8" (25 – 46mm), following the 
guidelines explained in “General ISS Siting Guidelines” on page 9.

2. Using the illustration above as a guide, hold the ISS so that the Wind Cups and 

Radiation Shields are on the left and gently place the ISS on top of the steel pole.

3. While holding the mounting base of the ISS against the pole, place the two ends of 

the U-bolt around the pole and through the two holes in the C-shaped bracket on 
the base.
