Appendix A: Using an External Temperature
Probe with Vantage Connect
You may use an external temperature probe (product numbers 6475 or 6477) with
your wireless Vantage Connect. This reading will replace the Vantage Connect’s
“inside temperature” reading. You will need an oval split grommet available upon
request from Davis instruments (part number 7342.805). Remove the plug from of
the holes in the bottom of the shelter and feed the probe cable up through the hole.
Plug the cable into the jack (see illustration on page 2). Attach the grommet to the
cable and insert it snugly into the hole.
Appendix B: Using AC Power to Charge the
Battery
If your installation is in a low-light area or an area with prolonged periods of time
where temperatures stay below -4°F (-20°C), charging may be inhibited. You may
use Davis’s Optional AC Charger Kit, product number 6710, to charge the battery.
The kit allows you to replace the solar charger with AC power. The adapter has a
universal input (100 -240V, 50-60 Hz) and will work anywhere in the world. (A
