The ISS includes rain collector, temperature and humidity sensors, anemometer, 40' ( 12 m) anemometer cable, and solar panel. Temperature and humidity sensors are enclosed in our patented, solar-powered, 24-hour fan-aspirated radiation shield. Shield combines active and passive aspiration to minimize the effects of radiation.

ISS is solar powered. Electronic components are housed in a weather-resistant shelter. Console may be powered using the included AC-power adapter or with three C batteries ( not included) .

Wireless range is up to 1000' ( 300 m) outdoors, line of sight. Typical range through walls under most conditions is 200' to 400' ( 60 to 120 m) . Add wireless repeaters for distances up to 1.7 miles ( 2.7 km)
