Setting Console/Receiver(s) to Same ID
1. Put your console into Setup Mode — press and hold DONE and press the DOWN
arrow (-).
•
Vantage Pro2: The console will show Screen 1: Transmitters.
•
Vantage Vue: Press and release DONE until you get to Screen 5: Active
Transmitters.
You should see the words: “RECEIVING FROM...” and “STATION NO.”
followed by the transmitter IDs that your console detects.
One of these should be
the ID number you just set on the anemometer transmitter. It may take one to two
minutes for the station ID to appear. If you don’t see it, verify that you set the DIP
switches correctly. If you still don’t see it, go to “Test Mode” on the next page.
2. Press DONE to move on to Screen 2: Selecting Transmitters (Vantage Pro2) or
Screen 6: Configuring Transmitter IDs (Vantage Vue). This is where you will set the
console to recognize signals on that transmitter ID as coming from an anemometer
transmitter.
3. Press the LEFT or RIGHT arrows to scroll through the transmitter IDs. When you see
the ID you chose for the anemometer, press the UP (+) or DOWN (-) arrows to
activate reception of that ID code. Make sure the screen shows “ON”.
4. Press GRAPH to change the type of station assigned to that transmitter ID. Press
GRAPH until the word “WIND” appears.
5. To exit Setup Mode, press and hold DONE.
The console/receiver will display wind readings from one anemometer in the
compass rose
. Once you set the ID code, it makes no visible difference that the
readings are now being sent by the anemometer transmitter instead of the ISS
transmitter.
Viewing Current Wind Data
You should now see wind direction and speed displaying in the compass rose on the
console screen. Press WIND if necessary to alternate between speed and direction. Spin
the wind cups. Turn the wind vane, and allow 5 seconds for the wind direction display to
stabilize before moving it again.
Display of current wind data confirms communication between your anemometer
transmitter and the console. Go on to “Choosing a Location for the Anemometer
Transmitter” on page 6.
If You Do Not See Current Wind Readings
First, verify that the console/receiver is powered and is not in Setup Mode (exit Setup
Mode by pressing DONE and holding it for a moment). Then, on the transmitter, ensure
that the anemometer sensor cable is firmly plugged into the jack that is labeled WIND
on the SIM. Check that the battery is properly installed. Walk around the room with the
console, standing for a few moments in various locations to see if you are picking up
signals.
If you don’t see wind readings no matter where you stand with the console, put your
anemometer transmitter in Test Mode.
