2. Plug the Temp/Hum Sensor Cable into the jack labeled TEMP/HUM on the bot-

tom right hand corner of the SIM board. Take care to carefully dress the cable 
through the black rubber grommet on the bottom right hand side of the shelter. 
Also, dress the cable through the cable clamp by first removing the screw con-
necting it to the shelter, dressing the cable through the round part of the clamp, 
and then driving the screw back through the holes in the clamp and into the cable 
clamp mount. 

3. Insert the 3-volt lithium battery into the battery holder, matching the “+” sign on 

the battery with the “+” sign on the battery holder. 

4. Consult this drawing to locate the DIP switches. You will work with them when 

you set the transmitter ID. 

Setting the Transmitter ID

Your Temp/Hum Station must be set to one of eight transmitter IDs. You set the 
transmitter ID using DIP switches #1, 2 and 3, located on the SIM near the battery 
holder. The transmitter and receiver communicate with each other only when both 
are set to the same ID.

Note: 

DIP switch #4 is used to set the station to TEST Mode for transmission testing and does not affect 
the ID.

The factory default transmitter ID setting is ‘1’. Looking at the table on the next 
page, you can see that means the DIP switches are in the OFF position.

Since the ISS is included with every Wireless Vantage Pro, the console is set at the 
factory to find the ISS on ‘1’. 

Set your Temp/Hum Station to a different trans-

mitter ID number. 

Use a ballpoint pen or paper clip to toggle DIP switches #1, 2, and 3.

 The set-

tings for transmitter IDs 1 – 8 are shown in the following table:

Use this table to ensure that each wireless transmitting station in your system is 
broadcasting on its own transmitter ID.
