TEST mode

DIP switch #4 on the SIM (see illustration on page 4) is the TEST DIP-switch.

Switch it to the ON position using a ball-point pen or paper clip. This puts the

transmitter in

Test Mode.

An LED indicator light will ﬂash each time it trans-

mits:

✦

The LED will immediately ﬂash once to show that the light itself functions.

✦

Then it will ﬂash each time the transmitter broadcasts a signal, which should be

every 10 seconds.

If the LED ﬂashes only once and then remains dark, there is a problem with the

transmitter. See “Contacting Davis Instruments” on page 10.

If the LED ﬂashes repeatedly but your console isn’t picking up a signal any-

where in the room, it could be related to one of the following causes:

1. The DIP switches were not correctly set on the transmitter.

Review the procedure on page 4.

2. The ID was not correctly set on the console/receiver.

Review the procedure on page 5.

3. Reception is being disrupted by RF (radio frequency) interference.

4. There is a problem with the console/receiver.

See “Contacting Davis Instruments” on page 10.

Note:

Remember to

turn the Test DIP switch OFF

when you’re ﬁnished testing wireless transmis-

sion. If it is left ON, the blinking LED will reduce battery life signiﬁcantly.
