Transmission by radio signal is convenient, however, there are limitations.
While we have tested Vantage Pro extensively, each installation is different.
Obstructions, particularly metal, will often cut down reception distance. You
should test reception in your location before permanently mounting your ISS
or other transmitter(s). See “Establishing reception between the Wireless Van-
tage Pro console and the Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS)” on page 13.
Note:
An “X” in the lower right screen toggles with every packet reception. An“R” in the lower right screen
means the station is trying to re-establish connections with the transmitter. An “L” there means the
station has lost the transmitter signal.
1. Check reception
Enter Setup mode by pressing and holding the DONE key, then pressing the
“-” key. Wait a few moments while the console lists all the stations transmit-
ting within range. If the console detects your transmitter, check the follow-
ing:
• Is the ID you’re receiving turned on in the console?
See “Each wireless console/receiver may receive signals from up to eight
different transmitters; however, only certain combinations of transmit-
ters are possible. Table 1 below lists the maximum numbers of transmit-
ter types each console/receiver can handle:” on page 20.
• Is the correct station type set?
See “Each wireless console/receiver may receive signals from up to eight
different transmitters; however, only certain combinations of transmit-
ters are possible. Table 1 below lists the maximum numbers of transmit-
ter types each console/receiver can handle:” on page 20.
• Try turning on the Gain.
See “Receiver Gain Status” on page 50.
• Reduce the distance between the ISS and the console.
Carry the console out closer to the ISS, but make sure you’re not stand-
ing directly beneath it. Do you receive a signal?
2. Check ISS
• Is the battery installed correctly?
See ISS manual.
• Turn on the ISS’s test mode LEDs.
See ISS manual.
