Optional: Changing ISS Transmitter ID
Each wireless transmitting station, including the ISS, uses one of eight selectable
Transmitter IDs. DIP switches #1, 2 and 3 on the transmitter control the ID — or
channel — the station transmits on. DIP switch #4 is used for transmission testing,
not for the Transmitter ID.
Note:
The transmitter on the ISS and the receiver on the console communicate with each
other only when both are set to the same ID.
The default Transmitter ID is 1 for both the ISS and the Vantage Pro2 console, and
should work fine for most situations. Change the Transmitter ID if any of the
following issues are true:
•
Another Davis Instruments wireless weather station operating nearby already
uses Transmitter ID 1.
•
You have purchased additional Vantage Pro2 or Vantage Vue wireless
transmitting stations and one of the stations has been designated as Station No. 1
instead of this ISS.
On the ISS, the Transmitter ID is set using the DIP switches located on the sensor
interface. To access the sensor interface, open the transmitter shelter cover. See
“Open the Transmitter Shelter” on page 6.

To change to another ID, use a ballpoint pen or paper clip to toggle DIP switches
#1, 2, and 3. The settings for Transmitter IDs 1 - 8 are shown in the table below.
Set the Vantage Pro2 console to the same ID as the transmitters, as described in
the
Vantage Pro2 Console User Manual
