Wireless Repeater

Network Installation (Multiple Transmitters)

If you have two or more transmitters in your network, follow the instructions
as if for a multiple repeater installation. Before you apply power to test your
chosen locations, set unique ID codes for each transmitter and then set the clos-
est repeater to each transmitter to listen to that transmitter.

Note: Each transmitter in your network must have a different ID code so that its signal remains

distinct and identifiable throughout the network. See your Wireless Weather Station or the
appropriate DavisTalk™compatible product manual for instructions on how to set the
Transmitter and Receiver ID codes.

There are a number of ways you can configure your network. The only rule is
that each transmitter’s data should only enter the network at one point,
through one repeater. No two repeaters should be set to listen to the same
transmitter directly.

Multiple Transmitter Network

You can set one repeater to listen to up to eight transmitters directly, and
then re-transmit those signals to your consoles. To set the repeater to lis-
ten to each transmitter, flip the appropriate DIP switches on the repeater.

Multiple Transmitter Network

In the diagram above, the Repeater/Transmitter ID DIP switches (eight
switches on DIP switch) would have #1, #2, #3, and #4 set to ON, and
the rest set to OFF.

The Repeater’s ID code DIP switches (four switches on DIP switch), on
the other hand, would simply be set to default ID code A (OFF, OFF,
OFF) because the repeater in the above diagram does not need to listen
to any other repeaters.
