Troubleshooting

5. If the Transmitter IDLED flashes repeatedly but your console isn’t picking up a sig-

nal anywhere in the room, it could be related to one of the following causes:

• You changed the ISS Transmitter ID at the ISS or console, but not at both.

• Reception is being disrupted by frequency interference from outside sources, or

the distance and barriers are too great.

Interference has to be strong to prevent the console from receiving a signal

while in the same room as the ISS.

• There is a problem with the Vantage Vue console.

6. If a problem with receiving the wireless transmission still exists, please contact

Technical Support. See “Contacting Davis Instruments” on page 17.

When to Change the ISS Transmitter ID

The Vantage Vue ISS transmits weather information to the Vantage Vue Console

using one of eight selectable Transmitter IDs.

Note: The transmitter on the ISS and receiver on the console will communicate with each other only when both

are set to the same ID.

The default Transmitter ID for both the ISS and the Vantage Vue console is 1, and

should work fine for most situations. Change the Transmitter ID if any of the

following issues are true:

• Another Davis Instruments wireless weather station operating nearby already

uses Transmitter ID 1.

• An additional wireless transmitting station has been purchased for use with the

Vantage Vue and it has been designated as Station No. 1 instead of the selected

ISS.

On the ISS, the Transmitter ID is set using the Transmitter ID Pushbutton located

on the underside of the ISS base. To see a drawing showing this button’s location

and a procedure for changing the ISS transmitter ID, refer to “Set a New Transmit-

ter ID on the ISS” on page 7.

Set the Vantage Vue console to the same ID as the transmitters, as described in the

Vantage Vue Console Manual.

Using Two Transmitting Stations

A single Vantage Vue console can recieve signals from one ISS, either a Vantage Vue

or a Vantage Pro2 ISS, and an optional anemometer transmitter kit. See your Vantage

Vue Console Manual for information on configuring Transmitter IDs.

If a Sensor Functions Intermittently

Carefully check all connections from the sensor to the ISS. .

If the sensor still functions intermittently contact Technical Support.

Most Common Rain Collector Problem

If the rain collector seems to be under-reporting rainfall, clean the debris screen and

tipping spoon module to clear out any debris.
