Wireless Repeater Configuration
Vantage Pro2 Wireless Repeaters (#7626, #7627) or Long-Range Wireless Repeaters (#7653,
#7654) can be added to increase transmission distances or improve transmission quality
between a station and a console. A repeater receives information transmitted from a Vantage
Vue or Vantage Pro2 station and retransmits it to a console. Depending on transmission
distance, one repeater or several repeaters can be used to collect and retransmit weather data.
All consoles communicating with repeaters must be set up with the correct Transmitter ID and
Repeater ID before the console can correctly receive station information.
Setting Repeater ID
To set a repeater ID on the console:
1. Press 2ND and SETUP to enter Setup Mode.
2. Press DONE repeatedly to display Screen 6: Configuring Transmitter IDs.
See “Screen 6: Configuring Transmitter IDs” on page 9 for more information on configur-
ing Transmitter IDs.
3. Press 2ND and then WIND to turn the repeater function on and to select a repeater ID.
Pressing 2ND and WIND sets the console to receive the signal from a repeater instead of
directly from a station. The first Repeater ID displayed is repeater A.
4. Press WIND repeatedly to cycle through all eight repeater IDs or to clear the repeater ID in
the right-hand corner. When no repeater ID is shown, the console is configured to “listen”
directly to a station and not to a repeater.
In this example, the console is
set up to receive from an ISS
station on transmitter ID 1
from repeater A.
5. Continue pressing DONE to
move through the other
screens in the Setup Mode, or
press and hold DONE to return to the Current Weather Mode.
Clearing Repeater ID
If a repeater ID is being displayed in Screen 6 and you are not using a repeater, you must turn
off the repeater function to receive station information successfully.
In Setup Screen 6:
Press 2ND and then press WIND repeatedly so that the console cycles through the list of
repeater IDs (Repeaters A-H) until the section where the repeater ID was displayed is blank.
Press DONE to continue to the next screen or press and hold DONE to return to the Current
Weather Mode.
