step.
Setting the Transmitter ID
Each wireless transmitting station must be set to one of eight transmitter IDs. DIP
switches #1, 2 and 3 on the SIM allow you to control the ID — the “channel” the
station will transmit on. (DIP switch #4 is used for transmission testing, not for
transmitter ID.)
Tip:
The transmitter and your console communicate with each other only when both are set to the same
ID.
The factory default transmitter ID is ‘1’. Looking at the table below, you can see
that means all three DIP switches are in the OFF position when each transmitting
station leaves the factory, whether it is an ISS, an anemometer transmitter, or
another kind of station.
The ISS is included with every Wireless Vantage Pro, and the console/receiver is
factory set to find the ISS on ‘1’.
Since it is likely that your ISS is already set to
ID ‘1’, you will need to set the ID of your anemometer transmitter to a differ-
ent ID number.
Use a ballpoint pen or paper clip to toggle DIP switches #1, 2,
and 3.
The settings for transmitter IDs 1 – 8 are shown in the table below:
Use this table to ensure that each wireless transmitting station in your system is
broadcasting on its own transmitter ID.
