Davis Instruments 6152C manual Screen 1 Active Transmitters, Station Type Maximum Number

Setup Mode

Screen 1: Active Transmitters

Screen 1 displays the message “Receiving from...” and shows the transmitters being received by the console. In addition, an “X” blinks in the lower right-hand corner of the screen every time the console receives a data packet from a station. The rest of the LCD screen is blank.

If you have a cabled station, or if your wireless ISS uses the factory settings and you are receiving the signal, the screen displays “Receiving from station No. 1.” Any optional stations that have been installed should also display.

	STATION NO.1 4
	Screen 1: Active Transmitters
Note:	An ISS or optional station must be powered for the console to recognize it. Refer to
	the Integrated Sensor Suite Installation Manual or optional station installation instruc-
	tions for more information. It make take several minutes for the console to acquire
	and display a Transmitter ID.

1. Make a note of the station number(s) listed on the screen.

Note:	If a Vantage Pro2 or Vantage Vue ISS has been installed in your area, its ID number
	may also be displayed.

2. Press DONE to move to the next screen.

The console can receive signals from up to eight transmitters total, but there is a limit on the number of certain types of transmitters. The table below lists the maximum num- ber of stations allowable for a receiver:

Station Type	Maximum Number
Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS)	1
Anemometer Transmitter Kit (replaces	1
ISS anemometer)
Leaf & Soil Moisture/Temperature Station	2*
Temperature Station	8
Temperature/Humidity Station	8

Maximum Number of Transmitters in a Network with One Receiver

*Two are allowable only if both stations are only partially populated. For example, A network can either have both a Leaf Wetness/Temperature station and a Soil Moisture/Temperature station, or it can have one combined Leaf Wetness and Soil Moisture/Temperature station.

Note: Listening to more than one transmitter may reduce battery life significantly.

Screen 2: Configuring Transmitter IDs — Wireless Only

(If you have a cabled station, press DONE and continue on to “Screen 4: Time & Date” on page 12.)

Setup screen 2 allows you to change the ISS transmitter ID and to add or remove optional transmitter stations. The default transmitter ID setting is “1” (ISS), which works fine for most installations.
