Screen 7: Retransmit
The console can take data it
receives from all three station types
and retransmit it to other Vantage
Vue or Vantage Pro2 consoles using
the retransmit feature. By toggling
the feature on, the console becomes another transmitter that requires its own
unique ID to transmit the data received from the ISS.
1. Press the + or - key to turn the retransmit function on and off. The first
available transmitter ID not assigned to a station in Screen 6: Configuring
Transmitter IDs will be assigned to the console.
Note: Make sure no other wireless Davis weather station is transmitting on the same ID.
The Vantage Vue console can only retransmit data from either a Vantage Vue
ISS, Vantage Pro2 ISS or console, or an Anemometer Transmitter Kit. Data
from other stations will not retransmit.
When retransmit has already been enabled, pressing the < or > keys changes
the Transmitter ID used for retransmit.
2. Use the > key 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 and the transmitter type (ISS, VP2, WIND)
the console is retransmitting. Make sure the console that is receiving the retransmitted
data selects the correct transmitter type. See “Screen 6: Configuring Transmitter IDs” on
page 9 for more information.
Screens 8 and 9: Latitude and Longitude
The console uses latitude and longitude to determine your location, allowing it
to adjust the forecast and calculate the times for sunset and sunrise.
• Latitude measures distance north or south of the equator.
• Longitude measures distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, an imagi-
nary line running north and south through Greenwich, England.
If you do not know your latitude and longitude, there are several ways to find
out. Many atlases and maps include latitude and longitude lines. You can also
talk to the reference department of your local library, call your local airport, or
search on the Internet. An easy way to find your latitude and longitude is to
download Google Earth (http://earth.google.com).
The more accurate you are, the better; however, a reasonable estimate will
work, too.
1. Press the < and > keys to move
between fields.
2. Press the + and - keys to change
the settings up or down.
3. Press 2ND and then UNITS to
select between SOUTH or
NORTH.
