Setting the Transmitter 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 “channel” the station
will transmit on. (DIP switch #4 is used for transmission testing, not for transmitter ID.)
Note:
The transmitter and your console 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 all three DIP switches are in the OFF position when each transmitting station
leaves the factory, whether it is an ISS, an anemometer transmitter, or another kind of
station.
The ISS is included with every Wireless Vantage Pro, and the console/receiver is factory
set to find the ISS on ‘1’. Since it is likely that your ISS is already set to ID ‘1’, you
will need to set the ID of your anemometer transmitter to a different ID number.
Use a ballpoint pen or paper clip to toggle DIP switches #1, 2, and 3. The settings 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.
