Cabled Vantage Pro2 with Standard Radiation Shield

Description

The Vantage Pro2 series of weather stations from Davis Instruments are high quality monitoring stations popular with education and research users. They’re also fantastic stations for monitoring in agriculture and industry or for serious home weather buffs.

The package includes the Vantage Pro2 console/receiver, integrated sensor suite, and mounting hardware.

These are the official Australian version – unlike the some other distributors of Davis gear, weather stations purchased through us have their radios set to frequencies that are legal in Australia, and come with an Australian plugpack with the slightly odd connector to suit the console.

The integrated sensor suite includes rain collector, temperature and humidity sensors and anemometer (with a 12m cable for positioning away from the ISS). For improved accuracy, temperature and humidity sensors are housed inside a radiation shield. The shield protects against solar radiation and other sources of radiated and reflected heat.

The console is powered using the included AC-power adapter (suits Australian sockets). The console provides power to the integrated sensor suite. The console powers and communicates with the sensor suite via a 30m cable.
