ID
Each wireless transmitting station must be set to one of eight transmitter IDs.
DIP switches #1, 2 and 3 on the SIM allow you to control the ID — the “chan-
nel” the station will transmit on. (DIP switch #4 is used for transmission test-
ing, not for transmitter ID.)
The transmitter and receiver communicate with each other only when
both
are set to
the same ID.
The factory default transmitter ID is ‘1’. Looking at the table below, you can see
that means the DIP switches are in the OFF position when each transmitting
station leaves the factory, whether it is an ISS, a wireless temperature station, or
another kind of station.
The ISS is included with every Wireless Vantage Pro, so the console/receiver is
set to find the ISS on ‘1’.
Set your temperature station to its own ID number.
Use a ballpoint pen or paper clip to toggle DIP switches #1, 2, and 3.
The set-
tings for transmitter IDs 1 – 8 are shown in the table below:
Use this table to ensure that each wireless transmitting station in your system is
broadcasting on its own transmitter ID.
