Wireless Repeater Configuration
Vantage Pro2 Wireless Repeaters (#7626, #7627) or Long-Range Wireless Repeaters
(#7653, #7654) can be added to increase transmission distances or improve
transmission quality between a station and a console. A repeater receives information
transmitted from a Vantage Vue or Vantage Pro2 station and retransmits it to a
console. Depending on transmission distance, one repeater or several repeaters can be
used to collect and retransmit weather data.
All consoles communicating with repeaters must be set up with the correct
Transmitter ID and Repeater ID before the console can correctly receive station
information.
Setting Repeater ID
To set a repeater ID on the console:
1. Press 2ND and SETUP to enter Setup Mode.
2. Press DONE repeatedly to display Screen 6: Configuring Transmitter IDs.
See “Screen 6: Configuring Transmitter IDs” on page 9 for more information on
configuring Transmitter IDs.
3. Press 2ND and then WIND to turn the repeater function on and to select a repeater
ID. Pressing 2ND and WIND sets the console to receive the signal from a repeater
instead of directly from a station. The first Repeater ID displayed is repeater A.
4. Press WIND repeatedly to cycle through all eight repeater IDs or to clear the
repeater ID in the right-hand corner. When no repeater ID is shown, the console is
configured to listen directly to a station and not to a repeater.
In this example, the console
is set up to receive from an
ISS station on transmitter
ID 1 from repeater A.
5. Continue pressing DONE
to move through the other
screens in the Setup Mode,
or press and hold DONE to return to the Current Weather Mode.
Clearing Repeater ID
If a repeater ID is being displayed in Screen 6 and you are not using a repeater, you
must turn off the repeater function to receive station information successfully.
In Setup Screen 6:
Press 2ND and then press WIND repeatedly so that the console cycles through the list
of repeater IDs (Repeaters A-H) until the section where the repeater ID was displayed
is blank. Press DONE to continue to the next screen or press and hold DONE to
return to the Current Weather Mode.
