A number between 0 and 60 displays. A value between

30 and 60 is a sign of good signal strength. If the value

is less than 20 or the field is dashed out, the repeater is

having trouble communicating with a station or a

previous repeater in the chain. This allows you to adjust

antenna position and find optimal repeater/console

location. See “Repeater Troubleshooting Error Codes”

on page 36 for information on analyzing and solving

communication problems.

Repeater Information in the Diagnostic Screens

The console contains two diagnostic screens that allow you to monitor the radio reception

between a station or multiple stations, the repeaters and the console. There are two diag-

nostic screens, the Statisical Diagnostic screen and the Reception Diagnostic screen. Both

screens display the Repeater ID that was selected as the closest to the console in Setup

Screen 2 in the banner at the bottom of the screen.

Note: For consoles with firmware dates May 2005, the diagnostic screens may have alternate information next

to the Repeater ID. Consult your Vantage Pro2 console manual for more information.

Repeater Functionality in WeatherLink

The WeatherLink software lets you configure your network of repeaters and stations in

the same way that the console is configured. WeatherLink also monitors the battery life of

all transmitters and repeaters in the network.

Note: If your network of stations and repeaters is communicating with an Envoy, WeatherLink must be used to

configure the Envoy. If your Envoy has firmware older than May 2005, it does not have the capability to

see and configure Vantage Pro2 wireless repeaters. To check your Envoy’s firmware in WeatherLink,

select Console Diagnostics from the Reports Menu and view the firmware date displayed. If the Envoy

firmware version is older than May 2005, a Vantage Pro2 Updater can be used to update the Envoy.

Contact Technical Support about acquiring an Updater for your Envoy. See “Contacting Davis Technical

Support” on page 39 for more information.

Only versions of WeatherLink 5.6 or later have the capabilities necessary to configure

and monitor repeaters.
