Console and WeatherLink Configuration
The Vantage Pro2 console, Vantage Vue console, Weather Envoy, Vantage Connect and
WeatherLink allow you to view the information coming from the stations in your network
and view information directly related to your repeater network.
Repeater Information on the Console
Once you have configured your console to receive station data through a repeater
network, the console keeps track of and displays diagnostics related to the wireless
repeater, such as battery status and network signal strength.
Note: See “Verifying Repeater Communication with a Console” under the installation procedures you used to
install your wireless repeater network.
Battery Information on the Console
Whenever any station or repeater in the network detects a low battery, the console
displays a low battery warning for that repeater.
On a
Vantage Pro2
console,
the message appears in the ticker tape display in the
console’s Current Weather Mode:
On a
Vantage Vue
console, the message appears in the Weather Center in the console’s
Current Weather Mode.
Note: The console displays low battery messages only for the first four repeaters/transmitting stations in the
network that run low on battery power. If there are more than four repeaters/stations in your network
experiencing low battery power at a time, the console does not display all of them.
Network Signal Strength
As a diagnostic tool, the console can display the received signal strength of a repeater
from the previous station/repeater in the network.
Note: The signal strength information will display in the wind compass for the station the console is set to
receive as an ISS or Anemometer Transmitter Station. Use Screen 2 of the Setup Mode to temporarily
reconfigure a non-ISS station as an ISS during the test if necessary. Display the Current Weather Mode
again and press WIND again to view the signal strength. If there is more than one station, reconfigure
each station the same way and repeat the process.
Using this function lets you analyze the communication efficiency for repeaters and
transmitters in the network or find the optimal repeater location.
