Appendix A: Wireless Transmitter IDs

Changing ISS Transmitter ID

Each wireless transmitting station, including the Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS), uses one

of eight selectable transmitter IDs. DIP switches #1, 2 and 3 on the transmitter allows you

to control the ID — or “channel” — the station will transmit on. (DIP switch #4 is used for

transmission testing, not for transmitter ID.)

Note: The transmitter and receiver communicate with each other only when both are set to the same ID.

The default transmitter ID is “1” for both the ISS and the Vantage Pro console, and should

work fine for most situations. In some cases, such as those listed below, you may want to

change the transmitter ID.

• Another Davis Instruments wireless weather station operating nearby already

uses transmitter ID ‘1’.

• You purchased additional wireless transmitting stations with your Vantage Pro or

Vantage Pro Plus and want to designate one of them as Station No. 1 instead of

the ISS.

On the ISS the transmitter ID is set using the DIP switches located on the Sensor

Interface Module (SIM). To access the SIM, open the SIM housing cover. See “Open the

SIM Housing Cover” on page 4.

To change to another ID, use a ballpoint pen or paper clip to toggle DIP switches #1, 2,

and 3. The settings for transmitter IDs 1 – 8 are shown in the table below:

Use this table to ensure that each wireless transmitting station in your system is

broadcasting on its own transmitter ID.

Be sure to set your Vantage Pro console to the same IDs as the transmitters, as

described in the Vantage Pro Console Manual.
