Vantage Pro2 WeatherLink 6560
WeatherLink for Irrigation Control with Connector Block

Use your weather station to turn your irrigation system on or off. The Davis 6560 WeatherLink for Irrigation Control connector block connects directly to most irrigation systems including Rain Bird, Rain Master, and Toro. For industrial controllers, the connector block provides electronic pulses for wind, rain, and Evapotranspiration (ET). For homeowners, the Davis 6560 looks at rain and ET values to determine when to inhibit watering. Can also set console alarms to inhibit watering when temperatures are too low or winds are too high. ET monitoring requires a solar radiation sensor. Connection to a PC is not required except for initial setup.

As with all WeatherLink products, WeatherLink for Irrigation Control includes the following features:

• Transfer data to your PC whenever you like or at a predefined storage interval of 1, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes. Data logger can store up to six months' worth of data, depending on the chosen storage interval.

• See current conditions at a glance on the instant weather bulletin, perform detailed analysis, or graph data on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis. Data can be exported to most popular spreadsheet, database, and word processing programs.

• Create your own weather web site or post weather conditions to a LAN. Use the included HTML templates or design your own. Add graphs, text, lines, or scrolling ticker tapes, and upload other files (such as images from a webcam) along with your weather data. Requires Internet Explorer 4 or above for weather web site features.

• Expanded reporting includes heating degree days, cooling degree days, and fuel-on-demand. Evapotranspiration, leaf wetness, soil moisture, soil temperature, sunburn risk for different skin types, and solar energy are all available with the use of optional sensors.

• Share your weather data by participating in the Citizen Weather Observer Program (CWOP) and the GLOBE Program.

• Create weather watcher reports in NOAA National Climatic Data Center format.
