DAVIS Anemometer Transmitter Kit Installation - Manual (Page 7)

Setting the Transmitter ID Page 7
Setting Console/Receiver(s) to Same ID
1. Put your console into Setup Mode — press and hold the DONE key and press the
DOWN arrow key.
The console will show you Screen 1: Transmitters. You should see the words:
“RECEIVING FROM...” and “STATION NO.” followed by the transmitter
IDs that your console detects. One of these should be the ID number you just
set on the anemometer transmitter. If you don’t see it, make sure the console
is within 10' of the transmitter, and verify that you set the DIP switches cor-
rectly. If you still don’t see it, go to “TEST mode” on the next page.
2. Press the DONE key to move on to Screen 2: Selecting Transmitters.
Setup Mode – Screen 2 is where you will set the console to recognize signals
on that ID as coming from an anemometer transmitter.
3. Press the LEFT or RIGHT arrow key, or the STATION key, to scroll through transmitter
IDs.
When you see the ID you chose for the anemometer, use the UP or DOWN
arrow keys to activate reception of that ID code. Make sure the screen shows
“ON”.
4. Press the GRAPH key to change the type of station assigned to that transmitter ID.
Press the GRAPH key until the word “WIND” appears.
5. To exit Setup Mode, press and hold the DONE key.
(See the Vantage Pro User’s Manual & Setup Guide : “Setup Mode – Screen 2:
Selecting Transmitters.”)
The console/receiver will display wind readings from one anemometer in
the compass rose
. Once you set the ID code, it makes no visible difference that
the readings are now being sent by the anemometer transmitter instead of the
ISS transmitter.
Viewing Current Wind Data
You should now see wind direction and speed displaying in the compass rose
on the console screen. Press the WIND key if necessary to alternate between
speed and direction. Spin the wind cups. Turn the wind vane, and allow 5 sec-
onds for the wind direction display to stabilize before moving it again.
Display of current wind data confirms communication between your ane-
mometer transmitter and the console. Go on to “Choosing a Location for the
Anemometer Transmitter” on page 9.
