Configure and Set Up Your Vantage Connect

You will need to know the transmitter IDs of each transmitting station before you 
configure your Vantage Connect.

Follow the prompts to enter setting and configuration:

1. Reporting Stations & Units of Measure

Enter the transmitter ID number of each of the transmitters that will be reporting 
to your Vantage Connect (up to 8). Choose a station type for each. (For example, 
Vantage Pro2 ID: 1, Leaf and Soil Moisture Station: ID 2.) If using repeaters, 
check the “Enable Repeaters” box and choose the 

final

 repeater’s ID letter for 

each transmitter using repeaters.

Choose your preferred units.

Click 

Save.

2. Device Settings 

For accurate barometric pressure data, enter the elevation at which your Vantage 
Connect will be mounted. Fine tune this sensor by entering the local barometric 
pressure reading. (Sources of this information include your local airport or radio 
station)

Select your anemometer and rain collector types. 

For accurate year-to-date rain data, enter the year-to-date rainfall as of today, 
and when your rain season starts.

Station Alarms (Optional): Set alarms for high and low weather conditions. 
Vantage Connect will send up to 20 (counting both activate and deactivate) 
alarm notifications per day when these conditions exist.
