Vantage Pro2 Plus FARS - Bundle - 6163UKX

These rugged weather stations are designed to offer years of service. They are the only weather station in their class offering sensors manufactured to a traceable accuracy.

The wireless transmission far out performs and updates more frequently than any similar weather stations. Using frequency hopping spread spectrum radio technology at 868mhz it transmits weather data every 2.5 seconds up to 300m.

The Integrated Sensor Suite is solar powered with its electronic components housed in a weather-resistant shelter. All the outdoor electronic components are specially designed to resist the effects of exposure to the atmosphere.

Includes Vantage Pro2 console/receiver, integrated sensor suite, and mounting hardware. Integrated sensor suite includes rain collector, temperature and humidity sensors, anemometer 12 m anemometer cable, fan assisted radiation shield and solar panel. Electronic components are housed in a weather-resistant shelter.

Additional sensors and stations are available for temperature, humidity, soil moisture, soil temperature and leaf wetness are available

Can be connected to a PC, Mac or IP using a Davis WeatherLink data logger and software. This will collect time stamped data from the console at intervals from 1 minute to 2 hours.

See Davis WeatherLink product page for more details.

Installation is very simple and can be carried out by almost anyone with a few basic tools. The only thing you should remember is to take care if you have to work at height.
