The following are tools and materials required to set up and install the wireless repeater:

•

Ratchet with 4'' or longer extension, 7/16'' (11 mm) size socket

•

Unbent paperclip

The following is a brief overview of the steps involved for installing a repeater or series 
of repeaters as part of your Vantage Pro2 wireless network:

•

Apply power (battery or AC power).

•

Determine the repeater/station configuration best suited to your wireless network.

•

Verify communication with a transmitter or transmitters.

•

Choose a location or locations for repeater(s).

•

Test proposed location for communication strength.

•

Configure the console or Envoy, and WeatherLink software for repeater information.

1. Open the shelter enclosing the wireless 

repeater to view the wireless repeater board.

2. Insert the 3-volt lithium battery into the bat-

tery socket at the top of the board. Be sure to 
match the “+” sign on the battery with “+” 
sign displayed in the battery socket. 

Once the battery is installed, the wireless 
repeater begins powering the board. Once 
the repeater has sufficient power, the 
repeater performs the Power-On Self Test 
(POST) using the two LEDs located at the 
bottom of the board. The STAT (status) LED 
blinks red, yellow and then green, followed 
by the TX LED blinking green once, 
indicating that the repeater is powered up 
and has passed POST.

Note: 

On battery power alone, it can take up to two to three minutes for the board to charge before the 
repeater begins POST and the LED lights blink their pattern. With sufficient solar power or with the 
AC adapter, the repeater powers up and is ready to communicate immediately.

Once the POST signal displays, the repeater is ready to communicate. If the repeater has 
not displayed the POST light pattern within three minutes, see “Maintenance and Trou-
bleshooting” on page 25 for more information.
