Preparing the Soil Moisture Station
 
The illustration below shows the location of the DavisTalk transmitter DIP 
Switches, the battery mounting location, and the terminal blocks used to 
connect the soil moisture sensors and temperature probes.
Insert the 3-volt lithium battery into the battery holder, matching the “+” 
sign on the battery with the “+” sign on the SIM.
Note the location of the DIP switches. You will work with them during the 
next installation step. 
 
Setting the Transmitter ID
 
Each wireless transmitting station must be set to one of eight DavisTalk trans-
mitter IDs. DIP switches #1, 2 and 3 on the SIM allow you to control the ID — 
the “channel” the station will transmit on. (DIP switch #4 is used for transmis-
sion testing, not for transmitter ID.) 
 
A DavisTalk transmitter and receiver communicate with each other only when 
both are set to the same ID.
