Davis Instruments 6163 Wireless
Vantage Pro2 with UV and Solar
Radiation Sensors and 24-Hour Fan-
Aspirated Radiation Shield is a
must-have weather station for
those climates that experience
very warm temperatures!
The Vantage Pro2 is now enhanced
with a bubble level on the rain
collector to help make
installation easier and more
accurate, an improved anemometer
base for easier cable routing and
to avoid damaging the cable,
stronger wind cups and factory
calibrated wind direction.
This upgraded Vantage Pro2 Plus
model includes a fan-aspirated
radiation shield that combines
active and passive aspiration to
minimize the effects of radiation.
Solar-powered fans operate during
the day and then shut down at
night when the effects of
radiation are less, keeping the
sensors cool and accurate.
The Vantage Pro2 Plus system
includes a console unit and an
innovative integrated sensor suite
that includes a rain collector
with self-emptying bucket,
temperature and humidity sensors
and an anemometer. The sensor
suite is housed inside a radiation
shield, protecting the sensors
against solar radiation and
additional sources of reflected
and/or radiated heat.
This high-tech Vantage Pro2 Plus
model from Davis Instruments also
adds two sensors not included with
the regular Vantage Pro2, UV index
and dose, solar radiation and
evapotranspiration. These sensors
are pre-installed on the sensor
mounting shelf.
The Vantage Pro2 Plus transmits
and receives data from up to
1,000-feet away (line-of-sight)
that's more than three football
fields in length and a huge
improvement over previous Vantage
Pro models.
The upgraded Vantage Pro2 Plus
weather station retains all the
features that made the original
Vantage Pro so famous yet adds
many more features such as button
realignment to make navigating to
often-used functions much easier;
a redesigned rain collector that
is laser-calibrated to ensure the
best accuracy possible; and a re-
tooled Integrated Sensor Suite
with upgraded electronics.
In addition, this quality Vantage
Pro2 Plus weather station will
track highs and lows (and/or
totals and averages) for almost
all weather variables for the past
24 days, months or years and track
your local forecast!
With the expanded transmission
range that can be extended with
optional repeaters, this wireless
Vantage Pro2 Plus weather station
includes an anemometer that can be
mounted with the sensor suite or
detached and placed in a separate
location. The system includes 40-
feet of anemometer cable to run
back to the sensor suite for
increased flexibility.
The wireless Vantage Pro2 Plus
weather station includes a solar-
powered sensor array and other
features such as on-screen
graphing, forecasting using easy-
to-read icons (sunny, cloudy,
rain, snow), barometric pressure
trend, inside temperature, dew
point, humidity information, time
and date, and much more!
