Note:
Typically, you can use the default transmitter ID setting of 1 unless you are installing one of the
optional transmitter stations or a nearby neighbor has a Vantage Pro2 Station that uses transmit-
ter ID 1 for the ISS.
3. Press the right and left arrows to select the transmitter ID.
When you select a transmitter ID, the ID number is displayed on the screen
as well as the current configuration.
4. Press the up or down arrows to toggle console reception of signals from
transmitters using that ID on and off.
5. Press GRAPH to change the type of station assigned to each transmitter
number. Scroll through the station types - ISS, TEMP, HUM, TEMP HUM,
WIND, RAIN, LEAF, SOIL, and LEAF/SOIL - until the correct type
appears.
6. Press DONE to move to the next screen.
Note:
This screen contains functionality for enabling repeaters. If the word “Repeater” displays in the
right corner of the screen and you are not using repeaters as part of your network, see “Clearing
Repeater ID” on page 52. If you are using repeaters as part of your network see “Wireless
Repeater Configuration” (Appendix C) on page 51 for configuring repeaters on the console.
Screen 3: Retransmit — Wireless Only
Press DONE and go to “Screen 4: Time & Date” on page 12 if you have a
cabled station.
The console can take data it receives from the ISS and transmit it to other Van-
tage Pro2 consoles using the retransmit feature. By toggling the feature on, the
console becomes another transmitter that requires its own unique ID to trans-
mit the data received from the ISS.
Screen 3: Retransmit
1. Press the up or down arrow to turn the retransmit function on and off. The
first available transmitter ID not used by the ISS or any optional sensor is
automatically assigned. Data from the ISS is the only data that can be
retransmitted by the console.
When retransmit has already been enabled, pressing the right arrow changes
the transmitter ID used for retransmit.
2. Use the right arrow to scroll through the list of available transmitter IDs and
select the ID for your console.
3. Press DONE to move to the next screen.
Note:
Make a note of the ID selected for retransmit. The console that receives the data from the con-
sole you have selected to retransmit should be configured to receive the transmitter ID you
selected. See “Screen 2: Configuring Transmitter IDs — Wireless Only” on page 10 for more
information.
