Equipment Details:

Davis Instruments Vantage Pro 2 Wireless Weather Station and Integrated Sensor Suite

• Weather Station Console (receives data from sensors, processes, and displays data. Also contains barometer.)
• Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS):
  • Includes rain collector/self-tipping rain bucket, temperature and humidity sensors, anemometer, and solar panel (the suite is solar-powered with a battery backup). Electronic components are housed in a weather-resistant shelter. Temp and humidity sensors are housed in a radiation shield to deflect effects of direct sunshine and reflected radiant heat from land surfaces. Data is transmitted wirelessly from the ISS to the station console in 1-3 second intervals. Wireless range is up to 1000' (300 m) outdoors, line of sight.
• NIST Certification Standards for Sensor Equipment:
  • Anemometer - ± 5% at 6, 12, 25, 40, and 75 mph; Additional Wind Speed Points ± 5%
  • Barometer - ± 0.05" Hg (± 1.3 mm Hg, 1.7 mb, or 1.7 hPa)
  • Outside Humidity: ± 3%
  • Outside Temperature: ±1°F at 0, 40, and 80°F (±0.5°C at -18, 4, and 27° C); ±2° F at -40, -15, and 140°F (±1.0°C at -40, -26, and 60° C)
  • Rain Collector/Self-tipping Bucket: ± 4% plus one tip (0.01")

USB Data Logger for Davis VP Stations
