All include a console and our innovative integrated sensor suite, which combines our rain collector, temperature and humidity sensors, and anemometer all into one package making setup easier than ever and improving performance and reliability.
Customize your weather station by adding additional consoles or one or more of the special-purpose stations shown on the following pages. Because regulations vary, wireless stations may or may not be available outside the USA. Most components are factory assembled, so setup is as easy as possible. Just a few simple installation steps, and you re done.
Includes 100' (30 m) cable from sensors to console. The aluminum-plated tipping bucket in our rain collector is selfemptying, corrosion resistant, and laser calibrated for exceptional accuracy. Anemometer includes both wind speed and wind direction sensors. Rugged components stand up to hurricane-force winds, yet are sensitive to the lightest breeze. Wind-tunnel tested to speeds in excess of 170 miles per hour (274 km/h). 6152C Cabled Vantage Pro2 Includes solar-powered transmitter Weather-resistant shelter houses electronic components for added protection against the elements.
Unlike the smaller rain collectors sold elsewhere, our rain collector meets the guidelines of the World Meteorological Organization. Reads rainfall amounts in 0.01' or 0.2 mm increments Wireless Vantage Pro2 Includes UV & solar radiation sensors 6153 Wireless Vantage Pro2 with 24-Hour Fan-Aspirated Radiation Shield Wireless integrated sensor suite runs on solar power. Lithium battery provides backup at night and during cloudy, wintry days. (Solar panel is not included with cabled version.) Models with 24-hour fanaspirated radiation shields include additional radiation shield plates and a ond solar panel, which powers the motor-driven fan. Temperature and humidity sensors are located inside the radiation shield. The shield protects the sensors from solar radiation and other sources of radiated and reflected heat.
Optional mounting pole is just one of several installation options. For more, including our mounting tripod, see page Wireless Vantage Pro2 Plus 24-Hour Fan-Aspirated Radiation Shield Models 6153 and 6163 include our patented 24-hour fan-aspirated radiation shield for maximum accuracy of temperature and humidity readings. A motor-driven fan draws air through the sensor chamber 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Air flow across the sensors is 500 feet per minute (2.5 m/s). At night, when the effects of radiation are less, the solar-powered model runs on battery power and the air flow is 280 feet per minute (1.4 m/s). In far northern or southern latitudes, or in areas with extended periods of heavy cloud cover, there may not be enough sunshine to power the fan or recharge the battery during the winter. However, as the level of sunlight goes down, the need for fan aspiration also diminishes.
The fan will start running and the battery will recharge as soon as sufficient sunlight returns. 4 Davis Instruments 5 Vantage Pro2 Available in six different models. Choose the one that s right for you.
