Wireless ISS Assembly
The ISS has a wireless connection to a Vantage Pro2 wireless console or other
receiver. Once the anemometer has been installed and the sensor connections have
been checked, the ISS must be powered and a wireless communication channel must
be established between the ISS and the console. Follow these steps:
• Apply power to a wireless ISS
• Verify communications with the console
• Verify data from the ISS sensors
• Troubleshoot ISS reception
Applying Power to a Wireless ISS
Insert the included 3-volt lithium battery into the sensor interface, matching the “+”
sign on the battery with the “+” sign on the sensor interface. Once powered, the ISS
immediately begins transmitting data to the console. Energy from the solar panel is
stored for power at night. The battery is an alternative power source the sensor
interface uses when it is depleted of energy.
Checking Transmitter ID
A Vantage Pro2 console can receive data from
up to 8 different wireless stations. The default
Transmitter ID for the ISS and console is 1.
In most cases it will not be necessary to change
the Transmitter ID. The console and ISS should
begin communicating automatically when power is applied.
Note:
If there is another Davis weather station within range of your console or Vantage
Connect, you should change the Transmitter ID. Remember to use the same ID for the
ISS and console. See “Optional: Changing ISS Transmitter ID” on page 18.
Verifying Communication with the Console
1. Power the console if it does not already have power. Refer to the
Vantage Pro2
Console User Manual
and apply power to the console.
The console automatically enters Setup Mode when powered up.
2. If the console is not in Setup Mode, press and hold DONE then press the down
arrow. The message RECEIVING FROM... and STATION NO. followed by the
Transmitter IDs that the console detects displays on the console screen.
3. Look for the ISS Transmitter ID. The number 1 displays unless the Transmitter ID
has been changed. If the ISS Transmitter ID is displayed, the ISS is detected.
Note:
If the console does not display the number of the ISS Transmitter ID setting, see
“Troubleshooting Wireless ISS Reception” on page 17 for more information. It can take
several minutes for the console to acquire and display all the available Transmitter IDs.
4. Press and hold DONE to view ISS data once the ISS Transmitter ID displays.
