1.RaiNCOLLECtORThe Vantage Pro2 rain collector meets the collection area guidelines of the World Meteorological organization. reads rainfall amounts in 0.01" increments. overseas versions measure in 0.2 mm increments.

2.aNEmOmEtERincludes 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 180 mph (290 km/h).

Anemometer can be installed separately using 40 ft. (12 m) cable (included).

optional anemometer transmitter kit allows you to mount the anemometer in a different location than the rain collector and the rest of the integrated sensor suite, up to 1,000 ft. (300 m) from your wireless console.

5.tEmPERatURE&humIDItY sensOrsLocated inside the radiation shield, which protects the sensors from solar radiation and other sources of radiated and reflected heat.

6.SOLaRPaNELPowers wireless station during the day and super capacitor for night operation. Lithium battery provides backup on cloudy, wintry days. (solar panel is not included with cabled version.)

7.WEatHER-RESiStaNtSHELtERProvides protection against the elements for the integrated sensor suite’s electronic components.

* To calculate evapotranspiration, a Vantage Pro2 iss with solar radiation sensor is required. Because it uses a different radio, Vantage Pro2 is not compatible with our original Vantage Pro stations. However, WeatherLink and many of our installation options are still compatible. if you have any questions, please contact us or your local distributor for assistance.

Included Optional sensor required, shown on console Optional, requires WeatherLink.

Growing degree-days also requires Ag/Turf Management Module. Solar Energy requires Solar Radiation sensor.

For complete specifica-tions, visit our website at www.davisnet.com, then click on Support » Weather Support » Specification Sheets.

“Resolution” refers to the number of digits or decimal places displayed on the console. For metric units, this is not the actual unit of measure except for rainfall. Our rain collector measures in true 0.01” or 0.2 mm increments. All other weather variables are measured and accumulated in U.S. units of measure, which are then converted to metric units for display purposes.

Weather Wizard III calculates and displays wind chill according to the original National Weather Service Formula. A new formula was adopted in 2001. For wind chill using this formula, view the data using WeatherLink or choose Vantage Pro2 or Vantage Vue instead.
