The "STAT" LED flashes red when it detects a radio
signal. The "STAT" LED flashes green when a good
packet has been received. The "TX" LED blinks when the
packet has been repeated to a receiver.
4. Turn the desired transmitter ID DIP to ON and make sure
all the other transmitter IDs are in the OFF position.
Note: If the station already has a transmitter ID of 1, you don’t need to change any of the Transmitter ID DIP
Switches.
Note: See “Maintenance and Troubleshooting” on page 34 if the above LED pattern does not display.
5. Important: Turn the #4 test DIP Switch to OFF once the test is complete, otherwise it
will significantly shorten battery life.
6. Close the repeater enclosure.
Verifying Repeater Communication with a Console
Once the repeater successfully recognizes a transmitter, the console should be set up to
receive the transmitter data through the repeater.
On the Vantage Pro 2 console:
1. Press DONE and the down arrow (-) to enter Setup Mode.
2. Screen 1 lists active transmitters.
This screen displays only the
active transmitter IDs the console
is receiving. Wireless repeater
identification is not displayed on
this screen.
The transmitter ID for the station set on the
repeater should display on this screen, with the number displaying above the ticker tape and an “X” flashing on
the bottom right of the console screen.
Note: It may take several minutes for the console to acquire repeated station. If the transmitter ID does not
display in this screen after 10 minutes, see “Maintenance and Troubleshooting” on page 34.
3. Press DONE to display Screen 2: Configuring Transmitter IDs.
4. Select the transmitter ID transmitting through the repeater using the right (>) and left
(<) arrows. If the required ID is not on, turn it on now by pressing the up (+) arrow
until “ON” displays on the screen. Change the station type by pressing GRAPH until
the correct station type displays.
5. Press 2ND and then press WIND to enter Repeater Setup Mode and to select or
deselect a repeater ID. Once the console is in the Repeater Setup Mode, subsequent
pressing of WIND continue to cycle through the all the repeater IDs.
6. Press WIND repeatedly to cycle to the desired repeater ID or to turn off the repeater
ID in the lower right hand corner. When no repeater ID is shown, the console is
configured to listen directly to a station and not to a repeater.
Note: If a transmitter ID is turned off, pressing WIND or 2ND and WIND will not display the repeater ID.
