Using Multiple Transmitting Stations

This table shows the maximum number of each type of station that can be used with a single Vantage Pro2 console. The console can receive signals from a total of up to eight transmitters (stations).

.

Station 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

*Replaces the ISS anemometer.

**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.
