DAVIS Vantage Vue User Manual

8
The above diagram displays an example daisy-chain configuration of one station and
three repeaters, creating a total line of sight transmission distance of four radio-links.
This configuration allows more flexibility between a station and a console, especially
around obstructions or interference.
Multiple Stations/One Repeater Configuration
One repeater can be used to transmit weather information from multiple stations to a
receiver if the repeater is within a radio-link radius of each station. The repeater can
receive and repeat weather data from up to eight different weather stations.
Note: The limit of eight stations is based on the number of unique transmitter IDs (1-8) available in a network.
