Verifying Repeater Communication with a Console

The console is configured the same way it is configured in a single repeater installation,

except that the repeater ID selected is the last repeater in the chain and for all repeated

stations.

On the Console in Screen 2: Configuring Transmitter IDs:

1. Select the transmitter IDs to be received through the repeaters, and if the stations are

not already toggled on with station types selected, do so now. Turn a station on by

pressing the up arrow until “ON” displays on the screen. Change the station type by

pressing GRAPH until the correct station type displays.

Note: The way the repeater ID information is accessed depends on the firmware version available on the con-

sole. If the firmware is dated May 2005, the repeater ID is accessed by pressing WIND. If the firmware is

dated October 2005 or later, the repeater ID is accessed by pressing 2ND and WIND. Follow the instruc-

tions below based on your console’s firmware.

2. For consoles with May 2005 firmware, press WIND to turn the repeater function on

and to select a repeater ID. Pressing WIND sets the console to receive the signal from

a repeater instead of directly from a station. The first repeater ID displayed is repeater

For consoles with October 2005 firmware or later, press 2ND and then press WIND to

enter Repeater Setup Mode and to select or deselect a repeater ID. Once the console is

in the Repeater Setup Mode, subsequent pressing of WIND continue to cycle through

the all the repeater IDs.

3. Press WIND repeatedly to cycle to the desired repeater ID or to turn off the repeater

ID in the right hand corner. When no repeater ID is shown, the console is configured

to listen directly to a station and not to a repeater.

Note: Even if there are multiple repeaters transmitting multiple stations, the only repeater that needs to be set

on the console is the last repeater in the chain, the repeater that is the closest to the console. By not set-

ting a repeater, the console will try to acquire a signal from a station directly.

In this example, the console is set up to receive an ISS station with transmitter ID 1 from

repeater C

Note: If a transmitter ID is turned off, pressing WIND or 2ND and WIND will not display the repeater ID.

4. Continue selecting, turning on and enabling the repeater function for each station in

the network.

5. Press DONE to continue to other screens in Setup Mode, or press and hold DONE to

return to Current Weather Mode.

Note: See the Vantage Pro2 Console Manual for information on the Setup Mode screens if necessary.

To verify that setup was successful, in the console’s current mode:

View the transmitter information displaying at the bottom of the console screen.
