Davis AeroCone Rain Collector w/Vantage Pro2 Mounting Base [6466]

AeroCone® Rain Collector with Vantage Pro2™ Mounting Base

This stand - alone rain collector features a flat mounting base. It can replace the rain collector in your Vantage Pro2 sensor suite for separate installation or be part of an EnviroMonitor system.

The rain cone is engineered to provide highly accurate data, even in extremely windy conditions!

It's ideal for siting where you need to separate the rain collector from the temperature/humidity sensor in a Vantage Pro2 sensor suite.

Our self - emptying tipping - bucket design meets World Meteorological Organization guidelines, offering exceptional accuracy. It displays daily and accumulated rainfall, as well as the rainfall rate on our weather stations.

Comes with a 40′ (12 m) standard cable. You can calibrate the rain collector for 0.01″ or 0.2 mm. A factory - calibrated 0.2 mm rain collector is also available.

Requires:

• EnviroMonitor Node and Gateway, OR
• Vantage Pro2 sensor suite or Sensor Transmitter Kit and a receiver or console like Vantage Pro2 console, Vantage Vue console, WeatherLink Live, Weather Envoy, or Vantage Connect.

Includes:

• AeroCone rain cone with grips (NO DAVIS LOGO)

• Debris screen that locks in place
• 40 ft (12 m) cable

Using this rain collector is easy. First, decide if you'll install it separately or as part of an EnviroMonitor system. If replacing the rain collector in your Vantage Pro2 sensor suite, follow the mounting instructions carefully. Make sure to connect the 40 - foot cable properly. You can calibrate the rain collector yourself for 0.01″ or 0.2 mm, or choose the factory - calibrated 0.2 mm option. When installing, ensure it's in a location where it can collect rain effectively and where it can be separated from the temperature/humidity sensor if needed. For maintenance, regularly check the debris screen and clean it if it gets clogged. Also, inspect the bird spikes to make sure they're in place. Remember, this rain collector requires either an EnviroMonitor Node and Gateway or a Vantage Pro2 sensor suite along with a receiver or console.
