Applying Power to ISS
Insert the 3-volt lithium battery into the SIM.
✦
Insert the battery into the battery holder, matching the “+” sign on the battery
with the “+” sign on the SIM.
The solar power components store electricity inside the SIM for use at night.
When this energy is depleted, the ISS uses power from the battery.
Transmitter IDs
Once powered, your ISS will immediately begin transmitting sensor data for
display at the console/receiver. Transmitter IDs allow Vantage Pro
TM
or
Weather Echo
TM
consoles to identify signals from up to eight different wireless
transmitting stations in the field.
The factory default transmitter ID for the ISS is ‘1’
You probably do NOT need to change the transmitter ID. The default transmit-
ter ID for ISS is ‘1’. Your console/receiver will find the ISS automatically.
Change the transmitter ID for your ISS if the following is true:
✦
Another Davis Instruments wireless weather station is operating nearby, on trans-
mitter ID ‘1’.
The transmitter ID for your ISS is changed by adjusting small DIP switches
located on the SIM, while the radiation shield is open. See “Appendix A:
Wireless Transmitter IDs”.
