The following diagram illustrates the Transmitter DIP and Repeater DIP switch posi-
tions for a normal single repeater configuration:
Any Vantage Pro2
Station
The STAT LED flashes red when it detects a radio signal.
The STAT LED flashes green when a good packet has
been received. The TX LED blinks when the packet has
been repeated to a receiver.
Note: See "Maintenance and Troubleshooting" on page 36 if the above LED pattern does not display.
5. Turn the #4 test DIP Switch to OFF once the test is complete, otherwise it will signifi-
cantly shorten battery life.
6. Close the repeater enclosure.
Verifying Repeater Communication with a Console
Once the repeater is successfully synchronized with a transmitter, the console should be
set up to receive the transmitter data through the repeater.
Note: Not all receivers have the capability for repeater support. If your console or Envoy has firmware dated
earlier than May 2005, it does not have the capability to receive Vantage Pro2 wireless repeaters. To
check your console's firmware, press the DONE and up arrow (+) keys. The firmware revision date dis-
plays 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 con-
sole or Envoy. Contact Technical Support about acquiring an Updater for your console or Envoy. See
"Contacting Davis Technical Support" on page 39 for more information.
