station on by pressing the up arrow until “ON” displays on the screen. Change the
transmitting station type by pressing GRAPH until the correct station type displays.
2. Press 2ND and then press WIND to enter Repeater Setup Mode and to select or
deselect a repeater ID. Once the console is in the Repeater Setup Mode, subsequent
pressing of WIND continue to cycle through the all the repeater IDs.
3. Press WIND repeatedly to cycle to the desired repeater ID or to turn off the repeater
ID in the right hand corner. When no repeater ID is shown, the console is configured
to listen directly to a transmitting station and not to a repeater.
Note: If a transmitter ID is turned off, pressing WIND or 2ND and WIND will not display the repeater ID.
In this example, the console is set
up to receive an ISS station with
transmitter ID 1 from repeater A.
4. Press DONE to continue to other
screens in Setup Mode, or press and
hold DONE to return to Current Weather Mode.
Note: See the
Vantage Vue Console User Guide
for more information on the Setup Mode screens if necessary.
To verify that setup was successful, in the console’s current mode:
View the transmitter information displaying at the bottom of the console screen.
If an “X” flashes in the bottom right-hand corner of the ticker tape (Vantage Pro2), or
the “transmitting waves” flash on the tower icon above the graph area (Vantage Vue),
the transmitter is being repeated and received by the console successfully.
Multiple Transmitters/One Repeater
Installation
A multiple transmitter/one repeater installation differs from a single repeater installation
only in the number of transmitters the repeater listens to and repeats. See “Single
Repeater Installation” on page 12 for detailed instructions on configuring the transmitter
and console for wireless repeater use.
This section covers the additional steps necessary to configure the repeater to listen to
more than one station of unique type.
Note: There are restrictions to the numbers and types of transmitters allowed in Multiple Transmitters/One
Repeater installations. See “Maximum Number of Transmitters in a Network” on page 9 for transmitter
limitations.
Verifying Repeater ID
The wireless repeater contains a DIP switch used to program
the repeater with a unique identification. DIP switches #1, 2
and 3 on the repeater are used in the same way that DIP
switches are used on all stations. The default repeater ID is
A and the default position for the DIP switches is down or OFF.
Note: For installations in which only one repeater is involved, the repeater should remain on the default ID of A
and should not be changed.
