Page 6 Wireless Repeater
✦ Solar-Power Model
Plug the power cord from the battery to the jack marked POWER as
shown below. Watch for the LEDs to light, (as described below).
Applying Power to the Solar-Powered Repeater
Both LEDs flash once when you apply power. The repeater performs a self-
diagnostic test that lasts about seven seconds. When the test is completed,
both LEDs flash again twice. After that second double-flash, the repeater
begins listening for a signal. If it finds one, the lower LED flashes as it
receives a signal and then the upper LED flashes as the data is transmitted
out again.
If the repeater still cannot find a signal one minute after you apply power, it
double-flashes three times and then shuts itself down in order to save
power. If this happens, check that your transmitter is transmitting and try
repositioning your repeater for better reception. Remove and reapply power
to the repeater to make it listen for the signal.
Once the repeater receives and re-transmits reliably, check your console/
receiver’s reception. If you’re using a Vantage Pro console/receiver, enter
Setup mode. The first screen in Setup mode will show you what transmitters
the console is receiving. For other Davis products, the receiver flashes,
beeps, or otherwise indicates it received a data packet approximately every
2.5 seconds in test mode. If there is no indication that data has been received,
reposition the repeater, transmitter, or receiver for better reception.
Note: To overcome difficult terrain or excessive obstructions, you can add additional repeaters to
boost the signal through—or carry it around—various obstacles.
