Single Repeater Installation

A single repeater installation is used in situations where one station can not successfully

communicate with a receiver, or if a station needs to be farther away from a receiver than

maximum line-of-sight radio link distance. The repeater can also be used as a signal

amplifier for situations in which a signal is weak between a station and a receiver.

Verify Transmitter ID

The wireless repeater listens to and communicates with a station transmitter by looking

for that station’s unique transmitter ID. Each wireless station, including the Integrated

Sensor Suite (ISS), uses one of eight selectable transmitter IDs. The station’s transmitter

board, known as a Sensor Interface Module (SIM) contains a four-position DIP switch

used to select the station’s transmitter ID.

There are two ways to find out the transmitter ID the station is currently transmitting on:

•Check the DIP switch positions on a station.

•Check the console for stations currently being received.

Checking DIP Switch Positions on a Station

The Transmitter DIP switch is used to give the station a unique ID. DIP switches #1, 2

and 3 on the transmitter DIP switch control the ID the station uses to transmit on. DIP

switch #4 is used for transmission testing, not for programming the transmitter ID. See

the manual for your Vantage Pro2 station to locate the Transmitter ID DIP switch.

To find the transmitter ID on your station:

1. Find the white box housing the SIM for your station, open it and locate

the four-position DIP switch, usually located in the upper right-hand

corner of a station’s board.

The default transmitter ID for all stations is 1 and the default position for all of the DIP

switches is down or OFF.

Use this table to determine which transmitter ID the station is using based on the

positions of the #1, 2, and 3 switches on the DIP switch.

2. Use the “Transmitter and Repeater ID Worksheet” located inside the cover of this

manual to record the transmitter ID used.
