Why is the wind direction reading dashed out on my Davis Instruments Weather Station?
If the wind direction reading is dashed out on your Davis Instruments Weather Station, and you have a wireless model, check the reception. If you have a cabled model, the cable may be faulty. If these steps don't solve the problem, the anemometer might be faulty, and you should contact technical support.
Why does the wind speed read 0 on my Davis Instruments Weather Station?
If the wind speed on your Davis Instruments Weather Station reads 0 all the time or intermittently, the problem may be with the anemometer. Test it by spinning the wind cups, check the reed switch fields on the diagnostic screen, and contact technical support.
Why does my Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 display odd values?
If your Davis Instruments Weather Station display shows odd or missing values, you may have synchronized with another weather station nearby. Change the transmission and reception IDs to a different ID.
What does 'receiving from' mean on Davis Instruments Weather Station?
If your Davis Instruments Weather Station display shows only “RECEIVING FROM.....”, it means the console has rebooted. Hold the DONE key to return to Current Weather Mode. Check the time setting if power was lost.
Why are there no rain readings on my Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 Weather Station?
If you are getting no rain readings on your Davis Instruments Weather Station, make sure the cable tie is removed from inside the rain collector. Refer to the ISS manual for further assistance.
Why does the wind chill reading seem too high or too low on my Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2?
If the wind chill reading on your Davis Instruments Weather Station seems too high or low, check the temperature calibration numbers. Wind chill depends on temperature and wind speed, so ensure those sensors are working.
Why does the heat index reading seem too high or too low on my Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 Weather Station?
If the heat index reading on your Davis Instruments Weather Station seems too high or low, check the temperature calibration numbers. The heat index depends on temperature and outside humidity, so ensure those sensors are working.
Why does the outside temperature seem too low on my Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2?
If the outside temperature reading on your Davis Instruments Weather Station seems too low, check the calibration number and adjust if necessary. Also, make sure sprinklers aren't hitting the ISS radiation shield; if they are, relocate it. Refer to the ISS manual for more information.
How to correct sunrise and sunset times on Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 Weather Station?
If the sunrise and sunset times are incorrect on your Davis Instruments Weather Station, check your latitude, longitude, time zone, and daylight saving time settings. The console calculates these times based on those settings.
Why is the dew point reading too high or low on my Davis Instruments Weather Station?
If the dew point reading on your Davis Instruments Weather Station seems too high or low, check the temperature calibration numbers. Dew point depends on temperature and outside humidity, so ensure those sensors are working correctly.
