The Status LED blinks red when it detects some radio
energy, until the repeater receives the desired transmitter.
When a packet of information has been fully received from
the transmitter, the Status LED blinks green and the TX
LED blinks, indicating that it is sending the information it
has received from the transmitter to a console.
Note:
See "Maintenance and Troubleshooting" on page 25 if the LED pattern does not display.
5. Turn the #4 test position to OFF once the test is complete, otherwise it can drain the
battery power.
Verifying Repeater Communication with a Console
Once the repeater is successfully communicating with a transmitter, the console should
be set up to receive the transmitter data through the repeater.
Note:
Not all consoles have the capability to access wireless repeater information. If your console or
Envoy has firmware older than May 2005, it does not have the capability to see and configure Van-
tage Pro2 wireless repeaters. To check your console's firmware, press the DONE and up arrow (+)
keys. The firmware revision displays in the ticker tape section of the console. To check your Envoy's
firmware in WeatherLink, Select Console Diagnostics from the Reports Menu and view the firmware
date displayed. If the console or Envoy firmware version is older than May 2005, a Vantage Pro2
updater can be used to update the console or Envoy. Contact Technical Support about acquiring an
updater for your console or Envoy.
On the Console:
1. Press DONE and the down arrow (-) to display the console's Setup Mode. Screen 1:
Active Transmitters is the first screen. This screen displays only the active stations the
console is receiving. Wireless repeater identification is not displayed on this screen.
