DIP Switches
4. Insert the 3-volt lithium battery into the battery holder, matching the “+”
sign on the battery with the “+” sign on the battery holder.
5. Consult this drawing to locate the DIP switches. You will work with them
when you set the trans m itter ID.
Setting the Transmitter ID
Your Temp/Hum Station must be set to one of eight transmitter IDs. You set
the transmitter ID using DIP switches #1, 2 and 3, located on the SIM near the
battery holder. The transmitter and receiver communicate with each other only
when both are set to the same ID.
Note: DIP switch #4 is used for transmission testing and does not affect the ID.
The factory default tra nsmitte r ID set ting is ‘ 1’. Looki ng at the tab le on th e next
page, you can see that means the DIP switches are in the OFF position.
Since the ISS is included with every Wireless Vantage Pro, the console is set at
the factory to find the ISS on ‘1’. Set your Temp/Hum Station to a different
transmitter ID number.
Use a ballpoint pen or paper clip to toggle DIP switches #1, 2, and 3. The
settings for tr ansmitter IDs 1 – 8 are shown in the table on the following page:
