Davis Instruments 6163

Vantage Pro2 Plus with Fan Aspirated Solar Radiation Shield

Davis Vantage Pro2 Console 6312 Davis Vantage Pro2 ISS 6328

If your weather station is going to be installed in an area where the temperature is often in the mid to upper 90's and the air is still, you would likely see temperature readings that are inflated by several degrees. Without moving air, heat builds up inside the radiation shield much like it does in an automobile placed in the sun. The wireless Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 Plus model with Fan Aspirated Radiation Shield (Davis Weather 6153) would be a good choice.

Includes Vantage Pro2 console/receiver, integrated sensor suite (ISS), and mounting hardware. ISS includes rain collector, temperature and humidity sensors, anemometer, 40' (12 m) anemometer cable, solar radiation sensor, UV sensor, sensor mounting shelf, and solar panel. Temperature and humidity sensors are enclosed in the patented, solar-powered, 24-hour fan-aspirated radiation shield. Shield combines fan aspiration and passive shielding to minimize the effects of solar radiation.

ISS is solar powered. Electronic components are housed in a weather-resistant shelter. Console may be powered using the included AC-power adapter or with three C batteries (not included). Wireless range is up to 1000' (300 m) outdoors, line of sight. Typical range through walls under most conditions is 200' to 400' (60 to 120 m). Add wireless repeaters for distances up to 2 miles (3.2 km)!
