These rugged Davis Vantage Pro2 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.
This fan aspirated radiation shield (FARS) system includes a 24 hour solar powered fan for even greater accuracy as part of the radiation shield. This feature is ideal for hot & humid climates as the FARS combines active and passive aspiration to minimise the effects of radiation.
