Troubleshooting Cabled ISS Communication

If your console is not receiving sensor readings from the ISS, please try the following

troubleshooting procedures.

1. Check the console to make sure you are using the supplied AC adapter. Other adapt-

ers may not work.

2. Make sure the console cable is firmly plugged into the ISS connector on the console.

3. At the ISS, check that the console cable is firmly plugged into the correct modular

connector. Refer to the figure “SIM Connections” on page 4.

4. Verify that all sensor cables are firmly plugged in.

5. If you still don’t get readings, reboot the console by disconnecting the AC power

adapter from the console and removing the console batteries for at least 30 seconds.

6. If your console is still not displaying sensor readings from the ISS, please contact

Davis Technical Support. See page 18 for details.

Wireless ISS: Powering and Testing

Use these steps to power a Wireless ISS, to verify communication with the console, and

to verify the operations of ISS sensors.

Note: A super capacitor stores energy from the solar panel for power at night. The battery powers a

Wireless ISS when the super capacitor is depleted.

Applying Power to a Wireless ISS

1. Insert the 3-volt lithium battery into the SIM.

Once powered, your ISS will immediately begin transmitting data to the console.

CAUTION: Be sure to match the “+” sign on the battery with the “+” sign on the SIM.

Checking Transmitter ID

A Vantage Pro console can receive data from up to eight different wireless stations.

1. The default transmitter ID for the ISS and

console is ‘1’.

In most cases it will not be necessary to

change the transmitter ID. Your console

and ISS should begin communicating

automatically when power is applied.

2. If it is necessary to change the transmit-

ter ID, remember to use the same the ID for the ISS and console. See “Appendix A:

Wireless Transmitter IDs” on page 19.

Verifying Communication with the Console

1. If you haven’t powered up the console yet, refer to the Vantage Pro Console Manual

and apply power the console.

Note:The console automatically enters Setup Mode when powered up.

2. If the console is not in Setup Mode, press and hold the DONE key then press the “-”

key.

You should see the words: “RECEIVING FROM...” and “STATION NO.” followed by

the transmitter IDs that your console detects.

3. Look for the ISS transmitter ID which will be ‘1’ unless you have changed it. If the

console shows the ISS transmitter ID then your ISS is being detected.
