| Davis Wireless Vantage Pro2 Plus & Radiation Sensor Become an amateur meteorologist with the Davis Instruments Wireless Vantage Pro2 Plus and Radiation Sensor. This unit offers and records all the weather information around your home with innovative and state-of-the-art technology. The console displays information in five different modes—a setup mode for initializing the unit, current weather mode, which notes all current weather conditions, high/low mode, which displays the daily, monthly, or yearly high and low readings, alarm mode, which allows you to set or clear any alarm settings, and graph mode, which features over one hundred types of graphs displaying your choice of weather data. In current weather mode, the console features a compass rose. The wind speed and direction are measured by the included anemometer, and the dominant wind direction is indicated by an arrow on the wind rose. Wind speed in miles per hour is also noted inside the compass. An icon forecasting the weather appears next, helping you plan ahead. Five icons indicate if the weather will be mostly clear, partly cloudy, mostly cloudy, rainy, or snowy in the next twelve hours. Additionally, if rain or snow is possible but not likely, the rainy or snowy icon is accompanied by the partly cloudy icon. The following icon notes the current moon phase, followed by the time and date. The outdoor temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, and barometric pressure tendency arrow occupy the next line. The included UV and solar radiation sensors measure these potentially harmful emissions from the sun, and transmit the information to the console where it is displayed inside the indoor temperature square. All weather data is collected from the outdoor Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS), placed up to four hundred feet away accounting for walls between it and the console.
Internal sensors read the indoor temperature and relative humidity in your home, followed by the outdoor wind chill. Directly under the wind rose a graph appears, representing your choice of information in a series of dots. The daily rainfall in inches or millimeters follows, and an umbrella icon appears if it is raining at the moment. The rain rate in inches per hour follows, and a text ticker at the bottom of the console offers the immediate conditions in current mode. Each display can be toggled to show different information, such as the rainfall per month or year instead of the rain rate. Moreover, each of the five modes offers an entirely new set of weather data. The console features over thirty alarms that can be programmed to sound whenever a reading exceeds a set value. When the alarms are set, they will sound for up to two minutes when the programmed condition is reached, and a bell shaped icon blinks until cleared. Text at the bottom of the ticker screen defines which alarm has activated.
The tidy black console features a large screen with backlight for quick referencing, as well as twelve function and four directional buttons for easy navigation around your screen. Each button has a second function, enabled by pressing the “2ND" button on the top of the unit. The console uses the included AC adaptor or three C batteries (not included) for power, and the ISS is powered by the solar panel. Personalize your station by adding optional accessories and sensors. The unit can read up to eight temperature stations, eight temperature/humidity stations, and two leaf and soil moisture/temperature stations (not included). The ISS uses a solar charger as its main power source, with an included three volt lithium battery for backup. Place the console on a flat surface or wall mount it for high visibility and easy access when you want to change the display, and pole or post mount the ISS with the solar panel facing south (if you are in the Northern Hemisphere) for optimal performance. Record the weather onto your Mac or PC with Davis Instruments WeatherLink Software packages. Know every facet of the weather every day with the Wireless Vantage Pro2 Plus and Radiation Sensor. Assembly required. One year limited warranty.
