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 anemometer 
wind cups, as shown in the figure below. 

To mount the wind vane on the wind vane shaft, follow these steps:

1. Grasp the ISS assembly so that you are looking at the underside of the assembly. 

Hold it so that the anemometer and radiation shields are on your left and the wind 
vane shaft is on the right, as shown below.

2. Carefully tip the ISS assembly so that it is “on its side” and the wind cups are away 

from you. 

When the ISS is held in this manner, the wind vane shaft is horizontal, and will ori-
ent itself so that its flat side will be facing to the right, as shown above.

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 wind vane shaft is visible 
and flush with the bottom surface of the wind vane.

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

the Allen wrench that is shipped with your Vantage Vue ISS.
