Installing the Console
The Vantage Pro2 console is designed to give extremely accurate readings.
As with any precision instrument, use care in its assembly and handling.
Although installing the console is relatively simple, following the steps
outlined in this chapter and assembling the Vantage Pro2 correctly from
the start will help ensure that you enjoy all of its features with a minimum
of time and effort.
Powering the Console
Cabled Vantage Pro2 Stations
Cabled Vantage Pro2 consoles supply power to the Integrated Sensor Suite
(ISS) through the console cable. Because of the added power consumption
of the ISS, the cabled console requires an AC power adapter or optional
Car/Boat/RV Lighter Cord for the main power supply. The console batter-
ies provide backup power for up to four to six weeks.
Wireless Vantage Pro2 Stations
Wireless Vantage Pro2 consoles do not require the use of an AC adapter.
You may use the included adapter if you wish, but the three C-cell batteries
should power a wireless console for up to nine months.
Note: When using an AC Power adapter, be sure to use the power adapter supplied with
your Vantage Pro2 Console. Your console may be damaged by connecting the
wrong power adapter. The console does not recharge the batteries. Because of this,
and because NiCad batteries do not power the console as long as alkaline batteries,
use alkaline batteries in the console.
Installing the AC Power Adapter
1. Remove the battery cover located on the back of the console by pressing
down on the two latches at the top of the cover.
2. Find the power jack located on the bottom of the console case.
