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!

Features:

Stylish backlit 3.5-inch by 6-inch LCD console provides continual updated weather information
Wireless transmission means no unsightly cable leading into the house or office
Can retransmit information from one wireless Vantage Pro2 console to another
Weather information includes inside and outside temperature, rainfall amount, humidity levels, wind speed, wind direction and wind chill factor
Additional weather information includes barometric pressure trend, heat index, dew point, time of sunrise and sunset, moon phase, ultraviolet and solar radiation information, forecasting icons and much more
Rain collector is self-emptying aluminum-plated tipping bucket reading rainfall in 0.01-inch increments
Bubble level mounted on the base inside the rain collector cone makes installation easier and more accurate
Fan aspirated radiation shield protects sensors from harmful reflected or radiated heat
Integrated sensor suite includes detachable anemometer with 40-feet of cable
Sensor suite is powered by solar energy with backup battery life span of 1 to 2 years
Effective wireless transmission range 1, 000 feet ( line-of-sight) with typical range through walls, etc., of 200 to 400-feet
Operates on frequency-hopping spread spectrum of 902 to 928 MHz. Vantage Pro units operated at 916.5 MHz
Optional repeaters can increase wireless transmission range from 100 to 1, 000-feet each depending on terrain
Anemometer base has been redesigned for easier cable routing to avoid damaging the cable
Enhanced stronger wind cups are wind-tunnel tested to 180 mph
Davis continues to calibrate the wind direction to be accurate when the anemometer arm is pointed true north. If you need to point the anemometer arm in another direction you will need to re-calibrate the wind direction using the Vantage Pro2 console
