configure your Vantage Connect.
Follow the prompts to enter setting and configuration:
1. Reporting Stations & Units of Measure
• Enter the transmitter ID number of each of the transmitters that will be reporting
to your Vantage Connect (up to 8). Choose a station type for each. (For example,
Vantage Pro2 ID: 1, Leaf and Soil Moisture Station: ID 2.) If using repeaters,
check the “Enable Repeaters” box and choose the final repeater’s ID letter for
each transmitter using repeaters.
• Choose your preferred units.
• Click Save.
2. Device Settings
• For accurate barometric pressure data, enter the elevation at which your Vantage
Connect will be mounted. Fine tune this sensor by entering the local barometric
pressure reading. (Sources of this information include your local airport or radio
station)
• Select your anemometer and rain collector types.
• For accurate year-to-date rain data, enter the year-to-date rainfall as of today,
and when your rain season starts.
• Station Alarms (Optional): Set alarms for high and low weather conditions.
Vantage Connect will send up to 20 (counting both activate and deactivate)
email or text alarm notifications per day, outside of the plan’s intervals, when
these conditions exist.
