Single Transmitter, Single Repeater Installation Page 7
Once the repeater receives and re-transmits reliably, check your console/
receiver’s reception. If you’re using a Vantage Pro Console/Receiver, enter
Setup mode. The first screen in Setup mode will show you what transmitters
the console is receiving. For other Davis products, the receiver flashes,
beeps, or otherwise indicates it received a data packet approximately every
2.5 seconds in test mode. If there is no indication that data has been received,
reposition the repeater for better reception.
Note: To overcome difficult terrain or excessive obstructions, you can add additional repeaters to
boost the signal through—or carry it around—various obstacles.
4. When you find a location that works, switch all three units out of test mode.
If the transmitter is in test mode, restore to OFF mode to conserve power. If
you’re using a Vantage Pro Console/Receiver, use Setup mode to tempo-
rarily deactivate all transmitter IDs. Similarly, to switch the repeater out of
test mode, flip the Repeater ID dip-switch #4 from the TEST position to the
off position as shown below.
REPEATER DIP-SWITCH SET TO TEST MODE OFF
Note: Leaving the repeater in test mode will cause the LEDs to flash unnecessarily and thus drain
additional power from your power supply. Use the test mode only when necessary.
5. Remove power from the repeater.
