Setting the Transmitter ID

Each wireless transmitting station must be set to one of eight transmitter IDs. DIP switches #1, 2 and 3 on the SIM allow you to control the ID — the “channel” the station transmits on. (DIP switch #4 is used for transmission testing, not for transmitter ID.)

Note: The transmitter and receiver communicate with each other only when both are set to the same ID.

DIP Switches

The factory default transmitter ID is ‘1’. Looking at the table below, you can see that means the DIP switches are in the OFF position when each transmitting station leaves the factory, whether it is an ISS, a wireless temperature station, or another kind of station.

The ISS is included with every Wireless V

antage Pro2, so the console/

receiver is set to find the ISS on ‘1’. Set your temperature station to its

own ID number.

Use a ballpoint pen or paper clip to toggle DIP switches #1, 2, and 3. The

gs for transmitter IDs 1 – 8 are shown in the table below:

ID CODE SWITCH 1 SWITCH 2 SWITCH 3

#1 (default) off off off

#2 off off ON #3 off ON off #4 off ON ON

#5 ON off off #6 ON off ON #7 ON ON off

#8 ON ON ON

Use this table to ensure that each wireless transmitting station in your system is broadcasting on its own transmitter ID.
