This confirms communication between your Temp/Hum Station and the console. If
you are not receiving the sensor readings on the console go the the next section, “No
Communication with Temp/Hum Station”.
3. Close the SIM Shelter cover. See page 4.
4. Go on to “Choosing a Location for the Temp/Hum Station” on page 7.
No Communication with Temp/Hum Station
1. First, verify that the console is powered and is not in Setup Mode. Exit Setup
Mode by pressing DONE and holding it for a moment.
2. On the Temp/Hum Station, check that the battery is properly installed.
3. Walk around the room with the console, standing for a few moments in various
locations to see if you are picking up signals. It may take up to three minutes to
acquire a signal, see your Vantage Pro2 Console manual for details on transmis-
sion.
4. If you don’t see readings no matter where you stand with the console, put the
transmitter on your Temp/Hum Station in TEST mode.
TEST mode
DIP switch #4 on the SIM (see illustration on page 4) is the TEST DIP-switch.
Switch it to the ON position using a ball-point pen or paper clip. This puts the trans-
mitter in
Test Mode.
An LED indicator light will flash each time the station trans-
mits:
• The LED will flash each time the transmitter broadcasts a signal, which should
be every 2.5 seconds.
If the LED does not flash, there may be a problem with the transmitter. See “Con-
tacting Davis Instruments” on Page 10.
If the LED flashes repeatedly but your console isn’t picking up a signal anywhere in
the room, it could be related to one of the following causes:
1. The DIP switches were not correctly set on the Temp/Hum Station.
Review “Setting the Transmitter ID” on page 4.
2. The ID was not correctly set on the console.
Review “Setting the Console Station ID on the Console” on page 5.
3. Reception is being disrupted by RF (radio frequency) interference.
4. There is a problem with the console or Temp/Hum station.
See “Contacting Davis Instruments” on page 10.
Note: Remember
to
set the Test DIP switch OFF
when you’re finished testing wireless transmission. If
it is left ON, the blinking LED will reduce battery life significantly.
