Package includes the Davis Vantage Vue Integrated Sensor Suite and WeatherLink Console Near real-time updates (2.5 seconds)  1,000ft/300m transmission range Solar powered with super-capacitor and CR123 lithium battery backup Now expandable thanks to the WeatherLink Console Passive Radiation Shielding The Vantage Vue uses “passive” radiation shielding. Passive shielding will provide your temperature and humidity Sensor with substantial protection from solar radiation and other sources of radiated and reflected heat. However, in direct sunlight, passively shielded sensors without airflow around the sensors will be slightly inaccurate. While this should not be an issue for casual weather observation, commercial and scientific customers should opt for a fan-aspirated version of the Davis Vantage Pro2 or Pro2 Plus. WeatherLink Console The Davis WeatherLink Console places all the data from your Vantage Pro2 or Vantage Vue sensor suite weather station right at your fingertips, and is the ultimate upgrade for long-time Vantage Pro2 and Vantage Vue owners. One device gives you instantaneous access to the information you need and the ability to do deep analysis, all from a single, convenient display with an intuitive and easy-to-understand touchscreen. From viewing current and historical data on a brilliant 6.75″ HD touchscreen, creating graphs and setting alarms, calculating indexes and reviewing forecasts, the WeatherLink Console helps you keep track of conditions so you can make better decisions about your recreation, garden, home maintenance, and more. FAQ Need more information before making a choice? See the most frequently asked questions below. What is the difference between the Davis Vantage Vue and the Vantage Pro2? While the Davis Vantage Vue and Vantage Pro2 are two totally different weather stations, they share many of the same sensors, just in different, or, in the case of the Vantage Vue, non-replaceable configurations. However, the Vantage Pro2 has a larger open area within the radiation shielding protecting your temperature and humidity sensors. In theory, this should lessen errors on sunny and especially hot days, since there is more space for air to move. If you’re really concerned about accuracy, we strongly recommend either the fan-aspirated Pro2 or Pro2 Plus. How do I change the battery in my Davis Vantage Vue? The Vantage Vue’s battery should last several years, depending on solar charging, but you will have to replace it likely at least once or twice during ownership. To replace the 3-volt lithium battery on the sensor suite, open the battery compartment on the bottom of the sensor suite by unscrewing the bolt holding the door closed. It requires a CR123 battery. How do I reset my Davis Vantage Vue? There is no reset for the sensor suite itself; however, removing the batteries will prevent it from reporting false data during maintenance. Buying from Cirrusly Weather has its benefits. See this brochure for more information.
