Wireless Vantage Pro Installation
Powering your Wireless Vantage Pro
Because the Wireless Vantage Pro console does not supply power to the sensor
array, an AC adapter is not required to operate the console (although you may
use one if you wish).
1. Remove the battery cover from the back of the Vantage Pro console.
2. Insert 3 C-cell batteries as shown.
Insert the negative (or flat) terminal first. The Vantage Pro should run
through a brief self-test procedure. All the display segments appear and the
console will beep three times.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Note:
Regarding Battery Use. Under normal circumstances, 3 C cell alkaline batteries should power your
wireless Vantage Pro console for approximately 1 year. Davis Instruments does not recommend using
rechargeable NiCad batteries with the Vantage Pro, because the Vantage Pro will not recharge them
and they will not last as long.
After powering up and running through its self-test mode, the Vantage Pro
console will automatically enter Setup Mode. Setup Mode will lead you
through setting up and calibrating your station. (See “Setup Mode” on
page 22.)
Establishing reception between the Wireless Vantage Pro console
to the Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS)
As you position your console, be aware of possible interference from cordless
phones and other items. To prevent interference, maintain a distance of 10 feet
between the Vantage Pro console and the cordless phone (handset and base).
Also, for best reception, avoid positioning the console near large metallic sur-
faces (e.g., most refrigerator surfaces).
Please test communications between the Console/Receiver and the ISS (or
other transmitter) BEFORE permanently mounting your ISS. Remember that
the ISS transmits packets every few seconds. Therefore, there may be a 2 to 3
second delay before the console display updates. For more information about
locating the sensor transmitter and testing reception, consult the ISS or other
transmitter manual.
