Davis Vantage Vue Wireless Integrated Sensor Suite [6357]

The Vantage Vue® Wireless Integrated Sensor Suite is a game - changer for weather monitoring. This innovative unit combines a rain collector, temperature/humidity sensors, and an anemometer/direction vane in one single, corrosion - proof device. It's built tough to handle all the weather your area can dish out. The smaller profile minimizes its visual impact in your yard or on your roof. It comes with mounting hardware, though the mounting pole is sold separately. With frequency - hopping spread spectrum radio, it offers consistent transmission up to 1,000' (300M) from the sensor suite to the console. The self - emptying tipping spoon rain collector measures rain with a .01' (0.2 mm) resolution. The anemometer can record wind speeds from 2 mph (3 km/h) up to 180 mph (290 km/h). The corrosion - resistant weather - proof cover ensures durability in extreme conditions, and the electronics are protected from moisture. The radiation shield provides great protection from solar and other heat sources. It gives outside temperature readings from - 40°F to 150°F (- 40°C to 65°C) and measures relative humidity from 0 to 100%. Installation is a breeze with the included mounting hardware kit. It measures wind direction in compass points or degrees. During the day, a solar panel powers the station, with an on - board super capacitor for night - time and a lithium battery as backup. The bubble level helps for more accurate installation and better data collection. Quick Guide (pdf) and Owner's Manual (pdf) are available.

Using the Davis Vantage Vue Wireless Integrated Sensor Suite is easy. First, use the included mounting hardware to install the sensor suite. Remember, you'll need to buy the mounting pole separately. Place it in your yard or on your roof where it has a good view of the sky and is away from obstructions. Once installed, the solar panel will power the station during the day. At night, the super capacitor takes over, and the lithium battery is there as a backup in case of low power. The sensor suite will start collecting data right away. You'll get information about rainfall, wind speed and direction, temperature, and humidity. The console will receive this data wirelessly up to 1,000 feet away. For maintenance, keep an eye on the rain collector. The self - emptying tipping spoon usually works well, but it might need a clean from time to time. Check the weather - proof cover for any signs of damage. Also, make sure the radiation shield is clear of debris so it can protect the sensors properly. When installing, use the bubble level to ensure the sensor suite is level. This will help get more accurate data. If you face any issues, refer to the Quick Guide or Owner's Manual (both in pdf format) that come with the product.
