Testing Wireless Transmission at ISS Location
After a suitable place has been found for the wireless ISS, it is very important to test
reception from the installation location before permanently mounting it there.
1. Set the ISS in the desired installation location.
2. Set the console in the desired location.
3. Monitor your screen for data. You should see a flashing "X" in the lower right
corner and data should start to appear. This make take a few minutes.
4. If data does not appear, press and hold TEMP and press HUM to display
statistical and reception diagnostics on the console. See your
Vantage Pro2
Console User Manual
for more information on the diagnostic screens.
• It’s a good idea to test the console’s reception anywhere that you might want to
use or mount it now or in the future. Take your time. If you aren’t picking up a
strong signal where you intend to place your console, try rotating the antenna on
the console and ISS or try moving the console and ISS to different positions.
• Irregular terrain in the area may interfere with the signal. For example, if the
ISS is mounted downhill from the console, the ground may block a large
percentage of the transmitted signal.
• Press and hold DONE to return to the Current Weather Mode when finished
testing.
