What’s New | Design Your Weather Station

From Elegantly Simple to the

Ultimate in Flexibility

At Davis Instruments, we take great pride in offering you a range of weather stations that are designed to provide the highest level of accuracy, reliability and ruggedness. Whether you are a weather hobbyist who simply observes the weather, or someone who relies on accurate weather data for farming, research or business, you will find a Davis weather station to meet your needs.

Design Your Weather Station

Weather enthusiasts want an accurate, reliable weather station that is both easy to install and easy to use. We’ve designed our Vantage Vue

®

and Vantage Pro2™ weather stations (complete with integrated sensor suites, information-packed consoles and long wireless distance capabilities) to meet those needs. WeatherLink

®

software is available separately to complete your package.

Some users want to create a customized weather system to meet their individual needs. In designing such a system, it is important to know how to mix and match sensors, transmitters and receivers; integrate specialized software; and choose the right option for remote communications. We’ve added small icons by each product to easily identify sensors, transmitters, repeaters, receivers and software. Compatibility charts on pages 28 and 29 will help you design the perfect weather system for your special needs. We’ve also included a few examples to demonstrate different usage scenarios (pages 24 and 25).

Our technical staff is happy to assist you in choosing or customizing the Davis weather station to best suit your needs. We welcome your call at (510) 732-7814.

3. Choose a model with 24-Hour Fan-Aspirated

Radiation Shield

(Adds $200)

Models 6153 and 6163 include our patented

24-hour fan-aspirated radiation shield for maximum accuracy of temperature and humidity readings. A motor-driven fan draws a constant airflow through the sensor chamber at 500 feet per minute (2,5 m/s). At night, when the effects of radiation are less, the solar-powered model runs on battery power and the airflow slows to 280 feet per minute (1,4 m/s). In far northern or southern latitudes, or in areas with extended periods of heavy cloud cover, there may not be enough sunlight to power the fan or recharge the battery during the winter. However, as the level of sunlight goes down, the need for fan aspiration also diminishes. The fan will start running and the battery will recharge as soon as sufficient sunlight returns.

Customize your installation

You need flexibility when deciding how to install your equipment. With that in mind, Davis provides a variety of installation options to suit your needs.

Daytime Fan-Aspirated Radiation

Shield Kit

An economical solution for adding the benefits of fan aspiration by retrofitting your wireless or cabled Vantage Pro2 or Pro2 Plus. Less costly than our 24-hour fan-aspirated radiation shield, but nearly 75% as effective in reducing the effects of daytime radiation. With no backup battery, the fan only runs during daylight hours and will cease running at night when solar radiation effects are reduced. Retrofit kit for Vantage Pro2 and Vantage

Pro2 Plus includes fan, solar panel, additional radiation shield plates and hardware.

7747 Daytime Fan-Aspirated Radiation

Shield Kit $135

PATENTED

Mounting Pole Kit

Includes 2 galvanized steel poles, connector and mounting hardware.

Poles measure 19.5" (0,50 m) and

21" (0,53 m) long. Assemble the 2 together to make a single 37.5" (0,95 m) long pole. Outside diameter is 1.31" (33 mm). Fits the Vantage

Pro2 and Pro2 Plus, as well as the Vantage Vue integrated sensor suites.

7717 Mounting Pole Kit $35

Mounting Tripod

Includes two poles and galvanized steel tripod with tilting brackets on the base to mount on a roof or uneven surface, or three 18" (0,5 m) lag bolts for ground installation. Each pole measures 36.38"

(0,92 m), but can be used together to make a single 69.75" (1,77 m) pole. Fits Vantage Pro2,

Vantage Pro2 Plus and Vantage Vue.

Weather Envoy and Envoy

8X

Send and store data directly from outdoor sensors to your personal computer with Weather Envoy

It can also retransmit data to the console, effectively extending your station’s range.

Weather Envoy

™

Weather Envoy, when used along with

WeatherLink software, will collect and store the same data set as a Vantage Pro2 console. Connect it to your computer with hardware included with WeatherLink for easy and convenient downloading without a console/receiver. Use WeatherLink’s automatic download feature, or manually download to your computer at your convenience, then use the WeatherLink software to view current conditions, graph and chart historical data, or even create your own weather web pages. (Also compatible with WeatherLinkIP.)

Like the wireless Vantage Pro2 console, wireless Weather Envoy can listen to up to eight transmitters. However, the maximum number of each type of transmitter is limited (see comparison table on page 11).

Weather Envoy includes its own barometer and inside temperature and humidity sensors. You can connect an external temperature probe (6475 or 6477) to replace a wireless Envoy’s internal temperature probe (see page 15). Both the wireless and cabled versions include an AC-power adapter. Either may also be run using one of our solar power kits. The wireless model can also run on three AA batteries. Expected battery life is 4 to 6 months depending on the logging interval.

Batteries should also be added to the cabled model for backup during power outages.

Requires WeatherLink (any model)

Envoy8X

™

With 32 times the memory of our

Weather Envoy, Envoy8X receives and logs data simultaneously from up to eight transmitting stations, in any combination— even eight Integrated Sensor Suites or eight

Leaf Wetness & Soil Moisture/Temperature

Stations! Doing the math, that means you can get data from 32 soil moisture sensors on one Envoy8X! Includes robust software that allows for data from many sensors and multiple Envoy8Xs to produce very large databases in Microsoft Access,

MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server. You select which sensors to log, and choose a logging interval from 10 seconds to 2 hours. You can even add select third-party sensors that report readings in a 0–3 volt range. Data can be easily exported to a spreadsheet program such as Excel, or to

Storage capacity depends upon the logging interval, but is so large that you can download a remote field installation when it’s most convenient. For example, an Envoy8X logging two Integrated Sensor Suites and two Soil Moisture/Leaf Wetness stations at a 15-minute update interval will store over 365 days worth of data.

Envoy8X has built-in temperature and humidity sensors, as well as a barometer.

The software will report data from those sensors as “inside” data, effectively giving you a ninth “station.” You can connect an external temperature probe (6475 or 6477) to replace the Envoy8X’s internal temperature probe (see page 16). Receives data from all Vantage Pro2 and Vantage Vue radios and repeaters. Includes an

AC-power adapter; may also be run using a Solar Power Kit (6612 or 6614) or on three AA batteries.

Expected battery life is 1 to 4 months depending on the logging interval.

Requires WeatherLink for Windows (USB or

Serial). Not compatible with Vantage Connect.

Antennas and Repeaters

Extend the range of your wireless station—for miles on end!

For longer distances or to improve reception in troublesome areas, add one or more wireless repeaters. Use repeaters in a daisy chain, retransmitting from a single Vantage Pro2 or Vantage Vue Integrated Sensor Suite, or special-purpose station. You can also build a network of repeaters and wireless stations, with some repeaters listening to multiple stations, each with their own unique ID. For use with any Davis wireless transmitter and receiver.

Long-Range Wireless Repeaters

In our testing, we achieved an incredible four miles (6,4 km) of transmission distance using two of our long-range repeaters with Yagi antennas. Range varies depending on antenna height, the terrain and foliage, buildings, other man-made structures, and RF interference. Ideal for agricultural or research applications where long distances are an issue. This solar-powered model includes solar panel and lithium backup battery. Antennas are sold separately.

Integrated Pest Management Modules


Integrated Pest Management Modules (IPM) link your weather data to actual pest risk, giving you a powerful new tool in protecting your crops from pest damage. These add-on modules generate stepped risk levels to warn you when conditions are most susceptible to pest development. For full use of all the modules, we recommend:

• Vantage Pro2 or Pro2 Plus Weather Station

• Wireless Leaf & Soil Moisture/Temperature Station (without sensors)

• Leaf Wetness Sensor

• WeatherLink for Windows

• Vantage Connect for remote access to your weather data

While each software comes loaded with pest models for all known pests

(including diseases, insects and mites), you can completely customize your IPM software to track the pests specific to your area. That data is transformed into a color-coded spreadsheet, illustrating the highest risk potentials in red. Because you use real-time data from your own vineyard or orchard weather sensors, the software’s updated pest development algorithms will provide you with the most accurate, crop-specific risk assessment available. For use with all WeatherLink models (Mac excluded).

Downy Mildew of Grape

PEST DESCRIPTION PANE

Downy mildew, caused by the obligate parasite Plasmopara viticola, is potentially one of the most destructive diseases of grape in the world. The disease is especially serious in climates with abundant rainfall, high relative humidity, and prolonged periods of wetness on leaves and fruits. The fungus infects all parts of the grape vine. It causes losses by killing leaf tissues and defoliation. Also, it rots the ripening grapes and weakens, dwarfs, and kills the young shoots. First symptoms are yellow circular spots with an oily appearance on the upper leaf surface. On the underside of the leaf surface the fungus appears as a delicate, dense, white, cottony growth in the lesions. The young berries are

WeatherLink Options

Critical real-time data right when you need it

WeatherLink for Alarm Output with Connector Block

Now you can automatically turn heaters, fans and other devices on or off using your weather station.

For each of four outputs, you can enter up to eight different weather parameters. Enter threshold values for each, select from nine different test conditions, and link the entries together as you choose. For example, you could activate a fan to cool your house—but only if the difference between the inside and outside temperatures is more than 5°F, it’s more than 72°F inside and it’s between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Our connector block provides the interface between your weather station and an electrical device. For high-power devices, you may also need to add electrical relays

(not supplied by Davis). Connection to a PC is not required except for initial setup.

WeatherLink for Irrigation

Control with Connector Block

Use your weather station to turn your irrigation system on or off automatically. Connector block connects directly to many irrigation systems. For industrial controllers, provides electronic pulses for wind, rain, and ET. For homeowners, 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 solar radiation sensor. Connection to a PC is not required except for initial setup.

6560 WeatherLink for Irrigation Control $195

WeatherLink for APRS with

Streaming Data Logger

For ham radio operators, including storm chasers and volunteer weather watchers. Connects a

Vantage Pro2 console, Vantage Vue console or

How Will You Use Your Weather Station?

Davis weather stations are used around the world to keep weather observers informed. While real user stories are highlighted in our Davis E-Newsletter, we’ve created a few examples to give you an idea of the many ways you can create the perfect weather system.

The Weather Buff

He loves to watch the weather and over the years has installed more than one drugstore thermometer on his patio. He wanted a high quality weather station that could give him accurate readings on wind, temperature, humidity, barometer and rain; all displayed clearly on a console— while staying within his budget. He was impressed with how simple

Vantage Vue was to install and with all the information it provided on the console—historical data, forecast icons, and graphs—and the Weather Center’s extra information. He added WeatherLinkIP and learned how simple it was to upload his data to the Internet.

• Affordable

• Easy to install

• Add WeatherLinkIP for simple online sharing

• Can download data from WeatherLinkIP for

NOAA and CWOP reporting

The Professional Weather Watcher

He is serious about the weather. He wanted weather readings that could be reported to NOAA and CWOP.

He chose the Vantage Pro2 system so that he could mount the anemometer on a 30 feet (nine meters) tower while keeping his rain and other sensors at six feet (two meters). He knew a Davis weather station would be durable—a very important fact because he lives where summers are hot, winters are snowy and the hurricane-force winds are a late summer highlight. He chose the Vantage Pro2 with 24-hour

Fan-Aspirated Radiation Shield and added a Rain Collector Heater. Living where weather can do some serious damage, he wanted to help his community prepare for severe weather via his website and his ham radio, so he added

WeatherLinkIP. He wanted to see his data in the living room as well as in his radio shack, so he added a Vantage Vue console. He also wanted to monitor the temperature of the pond that is 1500 feet (457,2 meters) from his back deck, so the latest addition to his system was a wireless

Temperature/Humidity Station and a standard wireless repeater.

• Separable sensors for greatest wind accuracy and professional siting

• Ability to add special-purpose stations

The Vintners

They found the perfect vineyard on a rolling hillside and sank their savings into the dream of raising grapes and producing award-winning wines. Even though their climate, with its foggy, cool summers, mild winters and infrequent frosts is ideal, they still have to make the daily weather-based decisions that determine the success—or failure—of their crop. They needed real-time data from their own vineyard’s micro-climate, which happens to be miles from their office; miles from anything, in fact. They chose a

Vantage Pro2 Plus Integrated Sensor Suite and installed Vantage Connect to bring that remote station’s data right into their office via a cellular connection. They use WeatherLink software to log and store data to use in future growing seasons. They added a Wireless Leaf and Soil Moisture/Temperature Station with one leaf wetness sensor, one soil moisture sensor and one soil temperature probe. This allows them to gather ET data for irrigation decisions and use the Integrated Pest Management Module for Grapes to track potential pest and disease risk. They dream of expanding their vineyard and adding weather stations in remote fields. They need the durability, accuracy and update speed of Davis stations; and the flexibility to grow and add on to their system offered by Vantage Connect.

• Full agricultural functionality

• Real-time data communicated via cellular connection from a remote station

• UV and solar sensors provide ET data for use in irrigation

• Integrated Pest Management

Module includes ALL grape pests

• WeatherLink data archives enhance this and future growing seasons

The Wind Researcher

She’s a researcher overseeing graduate students who are studying wind energy. Her team needed wind data from several sites to see how wind moves through the campus. Her colleagues were also interested in temperature and humidity. She started with a Vantage Pro2 on the roof of the biology building, and wanted to add two Vantage Vue integrated sensor suites on buildings nearby. Rather than log data using three consoles, our researcher chose Envoy8X. She still uses her Vantage Pro2 console to follow the weather on the biology building. Adding the Envoy8X allows her to listen to any combination of eight integrated sensor suites and anemometers and use a WeatherLink data logger and the commercial grade database software included with Envoy8X to easily compile her data into one database. With Envoy8X, our researcher not only added the two Vantage

Vue integrated sensor suites, she installed five additional anemometers with Anemometer/Sensor Transmitting Kits. With data coming from around the campus, she added a long-range repeater so that all eight stations are logged by the one Envoy8X. Now she has one database with data from all the anemometers plus the additional sensor data from the three integrated sensor suites—just what her team needed.

• Track eight stations, including multiple anemometers and integrated sensor suites

• Flexibility to handle radio transmission obstacles

• Envoy8X software with commercial grade database capabilities

• Ability to use third-party sensors

• Ability to add additional Envoy8Xs

Reasons to Buy

Things to consider when purchasing a weather station

1. WHAT WEATHER VARIABLES ARE

MEASURED AND RECORDED?

Most other stations offer barometric pressure, outside humidity and dew point, daily and yearly rainfall, wind speed and direction, wind chill and outside temperature. Some also offer inside temperature and humidity, and a few even give you extra outside temperatures and rain rate. Only Vantage Pro2 or

Vantage Vue give you those features, plus:

• Additional Rainfall Information: 15-minute, hourly, monthly and yearly rainfall, and rainfall amounts for each of the last 24 storms.

• Additional Wind Speed Information: 10-minute average wind speed and dominant wind direction. In addition, with Vantage Vue, you get 2-minute average speed, high speed and direction in the last ten minutes.

• Apparent Temperature: Heat index, and with

Vantage Pro2’s optional solar radiation sensor, the temperature-humidity-sun-wind index.

• Vantage Pro2 optional Solar and UV Radiation

Sensors: Greater awareness of the dangers of excessive exposure to the sun.

• For agricultural users: Evapotranspiration, leaf wetness, soil moisture and soil temperature with

Vantage Pro2 optional sensors.

2. HOW EASY IS IT TO SET UP?

With most competing stations, you need to install each sensor separately, which adds complication and takes time and effort. Vantage Pro2 and Vantage

Vue are factory-assembled to make setup as easy as possible. Just complete a few minor assembly steps, insert the battery, and you’re ready to mount the sensor suite. Mounting is further simplified by using our optional tripod. On Vantage Pro2, gain further accuracy by detaching the anemometer from the sensor suite and mounting it separately.

3. WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM

TRANSMISSION DISTANCE?

The wireless transmission range for most competing stations is generally quite limited.

Although range is highly variable (depending not only on the physical features of the land and structure but also on RF interference in the area),

Vantage Pro2 and Vantage Vue will almost always outperform the competition. And we offer wireless repeaters and Vantage Connect should you wish to extend the range even further.

4. HOW MANY HIGHS AND LOWS ARE

MEASURED AND RECORDED?

Most other stations simply give you the current readings. If highs and lows are available at all, they are usually quite limited. Only Vantage Pro2 and Vantage Vue give you the highs and lows (and/ or totals or averages) for just about all weather conditions, with time and/or date for the last 24 days, months or years for Vantage Pro2, and current and last 25 days, months or years for Vantage Vue.

No other stations on the market even come close.

And not only can you view the data numerically, you can also view on-screen graphs, for instant visual representations of long-term trends.

5. HOW OFTEN IS THE INFORMATION UPDATED?

The Vantage Pro2 and Vantage Vue transmitters send data to the console every 2.5 seconds.

Highly variable conditions (such as wind speed and direction) are updated with each packet, while less variable conditions are updated every 10 seconds. With most competing stations, the update interval is much longer: 30 seconds, or even up to

3 minutes. This may not seem important, but try watching the wind gust or the rain suddenly come pouring down. It’s very disconcerting to look out the window, see something happen weather-wise, and not see it reflected on the console right away.

6. HOW IS THE FORECAST GENERATED?

The competition generally bases their forecast on barometric pressure alone, which results in none too accurate a prediction. Vantage Pro2 and Vantage Vue use a sophisticated forecasting algorithm which takes into account not only barometric pressure, but also wind, rainfall, temperature, humidity and longitude and latitude. The result? A much more accurate forecast. Not perfect, but even the guys with the satellite pictures don’t always get it right!

7. HOW IS THE FORECAST DISPLAYED?

Competing stations use icons to show the forecast.

Vantage Pro2 and Vantage Vue have similar icons, plus Vantage Pro2 has over 80 different forecast messages that scroll across the bottom of the display. None of the other stations have this. The

Vantage Pro2’s ticker tape also gives additional information depending on which key you press.

Both Vantage Pro2 and Vantage Vue are able to display 10-minute average wind speed, the last 15 minutes and last 24 hours of rain. These are only a few examples of Davis stations’ unique features.

Competing stations don't have anything like this.

8. HOW MUCH DATA CAN YOU GRAPH

ON THE SCREEN?

With Vantage Pro2 and Vantage Vue, you can graph just about every weather variable, with averages and highs and lows for most, and go back in time for minutes, days, months and years. The competition typically graphs just one variable— barometric pressure—and typically just for the last

24 hours. With all the graphs on Vantage Pro2, and with the Weather Center feature on Vantage

Vue, you can do tons of analysis, even without purchasing a software package. You’ll find that the more dramatic the weather is, the more fun it is to look at the graphs. Just how windy is it and how does it compare to the last wind storm? How much rain did we get this month as compared to last month?

9. CAN YOU USE THE STATION AT

HIGHER ELEVATIONS?

Our stations can be used up to 15,000 ft. (4570 m) in elevation. Many competing stations are limited to 6,000 ft. (1829 m) or below. If you’re lucky enough to live and work—or perhaps enjoy a vacation home—in the mountains, you’ll find that our Vantage Pro2 and Vantage Vue weather stations work just fine, no matter what the elevation.

10. IS THERE A COMPUTER INTERFACE?

If you’d like to do even more analysis, add our

WeatherLink data logger and software package. The data logger stores data at the interval you choose

(from one minute to two hours) for up to six months.

Transfer the data whenever you like, or leave your computer on to have it transfer automatically every day. For some competing stations, no software package is available. Other stations do offer software, but don’t include a data logger—so your

PC must be on and the software running at all times.

11. HOW MANY ALARMS ARE THERE?

With Vantage Pro2 and Vantage Vue, alarms can be set for just about every weather variable, for just about any reason imaginable—up to 70 alarms for Vantage Pro2 and 22 for Vantage

Vue. The alarms found on competing stations are generally quite limited.

12. WHAT IS THE ACCURACY, RESOLUTION,

AND RANGE?

Vantage Pro2 and Vantage Vue generally beat their similarly-priced competition in accuracy, resolution and range. It can be difficult to find the specs for competing stations. When we do find them, our testing shows that they are a bit, shall we say, optimistic. We are proud to publish our specs in our catalog and on our website, and stand behind them 100%.

13. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE USING

THE STATIONS?

There are many, many thousands of happy Davis weather station users around the country and around the world. You’ll find that many Davis weather station owners participate as volunteer observers for the National Weather Service, the National Hurricane

Center, and numerous local TV and radio stations.

You can also visit www.weatherlink.com and see a worldwide map of Davis weather station owners who use our WeatherLinkIP software, which along with other features, creates its own weather website for your weather station.

14. HOW LONG HAS THE COMPANY BEEN
