Retransmit feature
To activate the retransmit feature of the console, write the ID number (1-8) that you would like
the Vantage to transmit on into the RE_TRANSMIT_TX field. This ID can not also be used to
receive data from a remote sensor. Use the value 0 to turn retransmit off.
IMPORTANT!!
You must use the "
NEWSETUP
" command after changing the transmitter ID or
retransmit settings. This allows the console to use the new settings.

Setting Alarm Thresholds
The alarm values are stored in the EEPROM. Each alarm is described below along with its
EEPROM address.
Field Offset
Size Explanation
ALARM_START
82=0x52 94
Starting location for the Alarm threshold data.
BAR_RISE_ALARM
0
1
The BAR_RISE alarms is 1 byte unsigned number. A zero
value indicates the alarm is not set. A non-zero value of 1 to
255 represents .001 in to .255 in.
BAR_FALL_ALARM
1
1
The BAR_FALL alarms is 1 byte unsigned number. A zero
value indicates the alarm is not set. A non-zero value of 1 to
255 represents .001 in to .255 in.
TIME_ALARM
2
2
The TIME_A alarm is a 2 byte number in the format HOURS
* 100 + MINUTES.
TIME_COMP_ALARM
4
2
A value of 0xffff indicates an alarm is not set.
LOW_TEMP_IN_ALARM
6
1
The temperature alarm is in 1 unsigned byte in 1 °F resolution.
It has an offset of +90°F so every number is positive. For
example -32 °F would be stored as 58°F. If the alarm is not
set, a 255 is stored.
HIGH_TEMP_IN_ALARM
7
1
The temperature alarm is in 1 unsigned byte in 1 °F resolution.
It has an offset of +90°F so every number is positive. For
example -32 °F would be stored as 58 °F. If the alarm is not
set, a 255 is stored.
