Level the Solar Sensor
Use the bubble level on the sensor as a guide to verify that the sensor is level.
Adjust the level by tightening or loosening
the three screws that hold the sensor onto the
shelf. To make sure that the sensor diffuser
is not shaded by the rim of the rain cone, the
top of the sensor body should be even with
or above the rim of the rain cone.
Clear Data Collected During Testing and Installation
Now that the sensor suite is mounted outside, any data that was collected in the
Vantage Pro2 console during testing and mounting can be cleared.
1. On the console, press the WIND so that graph icon appears adjacent to the wind
data on the display. Confirm that wind speed is displayed on the compass rose.
2. Press and release 2ND, then press and hold CLEAR for at least six seconds and
until you see “CLEARING NOW” in the console ticker display.
Additional Mounting Options
Extending Wireless Transmission Range
Optional repeater stations can be used to extend the wireless transmission range.
• Wireless Repeater, AC-Powered (#7626) or Solar-Powered (#7627)
• Long-Range Wireless Repeater, Solar-Powered (#7654)
Extending the Console Cable (Cabled Sensor Suite Only)
A cabled sensor suite can be extended up to 1000' (300 m) away from the console by
using Davis Instruments extension cables (#7876).
Relocating the Anemometer
Using Extension Cables:
The anemometer can be extended further than 40' from the
sensor suite by using Davis Instruments extension cables (#7876).
Note:
Not all cables are compatible with your Vantage Pro2 system. To be sure they will work,
order Davis extension cables from your dealer or directly from Davis Instruments.
Be aware that the maximum measurable wind speed reading decreases as the total
length of cable from the anemometer to the sensor suite increases.
Note:
If the cable length is greater than 540' (165m), the maximum measurable wind speed
may be less than 100 MPH (161 km/h).

Top should be even with or
above rain cone rim
