Overview

The Davis 6163AU Vantage Pro 2 Plus Fan Aspirated Weather Station includes Vantage Pro 2 console/receiver, integrated sensor suite (ISS), and mounting hardware. ISS includes a rain collector, temperature and humidity sensors, an anemometer, a 12 m anemometer cable, a solar radiation sensor, a UV sensor, a sensor mounting shelf, and a solar panel.

The Temperature & humidity sensors are enclosed in our patented, solar-powered, 24-hour fan-aspirated radiation shield. Shield combines fan aspiration and passive shielding to minimize the effects of solar radiation.

ISS is solar-powered. Electronic components are housed in a weather-resistant shelter. The console may be powered using the included AC-power adapter or with three C-size batteries (not included).

Features

Refresh Rate - A packet of data is sent from the outdoor transmitter to the receiver every 2 1/2 seconds! This means when you look out the window and see the wind blowing, the weather station will reflect it almost immediately.

Transmission Distance - (This applies to the wireless version) - Max Line of sight range is 300M. Typical range under most conditions is 200M TO 250M. This is a much greater distance than other professional units.
