Screen 1: Active Transmitters

Screen 1 displays the message “Receiving from...” and shows the transmit- ters 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 set- tings 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.
	1. Make a note of the station number(s) listed on the screen.
	2. Press DONE to move to the next screen.
	The console can receive signals from up to eight transmitters total, but
	there is also a limit on the number of certain types of transmitters. The
	table below lists the maximum number for each type of transmitter:
	Transmitter Type	Maximum Number
	Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS)	1
	Anemometer Transmitter Kit	1
	Leaf & Soil Moisture/Temperature Station	2
	Temperature Station	8
	Temperature/Humidity Station	8
	Maximum Number of Transmitters
Note:	Listening to more than one transmitter may reduce battery life significantly.
