Wireless Repeater Configuration
A Vantage Pro2 Wireless Repeater (#7627) or Long-Range Wireless Repeater
(#7654) increase transmission distances or improve transmission quality between
a station and a console. A repeater receives information transmitted from a
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.
To set Repeater ID on the console:
1. Press DONE and the - keys to enter Setup Mode.
2. If Setup Mode has previously been completed, press DONE to display Screen
2: Configuring Transmitter IDs.
3. See “Screen 2: Configuring Transmitter IDs — Wireless Only” on page 12 for
more information on configuring Transmitter IDs.
4. Press 2ND and then press WIND to enter Repeater Setup Mode 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. Once the console is in the
repeater setup mode, subsequent pressing of WIND continue to cycle through
the all the repeater IDs.
5. Press WIND repeatedly to cycle through all eight repeater IDs possible 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 the example below, the console is set up to receive an ISS station on transmitter
ID 1 from repeater A.
6. For each station using a repeater, select the station and turn on the repeater
function and select the correct repeater ID.
7. Press DONE to continue to the other screens in the Setup Mode, or press and
hold DONE to return to the Current Weather Mode.
