Note: A Vantage Vue or Vantage Pro2 ISS; or a Vantage Pro2 Anemometer Transmitter Kit
must be powered for the console to recognize it. Refer to the Integrated Sensor Suite
Installation Manual or other station manual for more information. It may take several
minutes for the console to acquire and display a Transmitter ID after power is applied to
both units.
1. Make a note of the station number(s) listed on the screen.
2. Press DONE to move to the next screen.
Screen 6: Configuring Transmitter IDs
Setup Screen 6 allows you to change
the ISS transmitter ID and to add or
remove optional transmitter stations.
The default transmitter ID setting is
“1 ISS” (refers to a Vantage Vue ISS), which works for most installations. If your
station is using the default transmitter ID setting, press DONE to move to the
next screen.
Note: Typically, you can use the default transmitter ID setting of 1 unless a nearby neighbor has
a Vantage Pro2 or Vantage Vue station that uses transmitter ID 1.
If you wish to change this default transmitter ID:
1. Press the < and > keys to select a transmitter ID.
When you select a transmitter ID, the ID number is displayed on the screen
as well as its current configuration (OFF, ISS, VP2 or WIND).
2. Press the + or - keys to toggle console reception of signals from transmitters
using that ID on and off.
Note: Make sure any unused ID numbers are set to OFF.
To change the station type for the transmitter ID:
1. Press GRAPH to change the type of station assigned from ISS to VP2 or
WIND.
• VP2 - Refers to the Vantage Pro2 ISS. Also refers to a Vantage Vue console
or Vantage Pro2 console retransmitting data from a Vantage Pro2 ISS.
• WIND - Refers to the Vantage Pro2 Anemometer Transmitter Kit. Also
refers to a Vantage Vue console or Vantage Pro2 console retransmitting
data from an anemometer transmitter kit.
2. 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 51. If you are using repeaters as part of your network
see “Wireless Repeater Configuration” (Appendix C) on page 51.
