Why is the outside temperature reading too high on my Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 Weather Station?
If the outside temperature reading on your Davis Instruments Weather Station seems too high, check if the ISS is near a mechanical or radiant heat source. Check the calibration number and adjust if necessary. You might need to relocate the ISS or temperature sensor. Refer to the ISS or other transmitter manual for further assistance.
Why is the wind speed reading too high or low on my Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2?
If the wind speed reading on your Davis Instruments Weather Station seems too high or too low, for low readings, remove the wind cups and check for any friction. Also, check the location of the anemometer to make sure it is not sheltered from the wind. Consult the ISS manual for more troubleshooting steps.
Why does the inside humidity seem too high or too low on my Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 Weather Station?
If the inside humidity reading on your Davis Instruments Weather Station seems too high or low, ensure the console isn't near a humidifier or dehumidifier. Check the calibration number and adjust if necessary. If the inside humidity is low and the inside temperature is too high, consult the information about inside temperature. Also, ensure the console backlight is not on.
What to do if Davis Instruments Weather Station display shows dashes?
If your Davis Instruments Weather Station display shows dashes instead of weather data, this could be due to several reasons: the ISS is not plugged in (for cabled stations), sensors are not transmitting (for wireless stations), the console is not receiving data (for wireless stations), a reading has exceeded the specified limits, or calibration numbers may be causing readings to exceed display limits. For the first three causes, consult the ISS or reception troubleshooting sections. For the last, check the calibration number and adjust if necessary.
Why is the inside temperature reading too high on my Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2?
If the inside temperature reading on your Davis Instruments Weather Station seems too high, move the console out of direct sunlight. Ensure that the console or sensor isn't touching an exterior wall that heats up, and that it's not near any heat sources like lamps or appliances. Also, make sure the console backlight is off. Check the calibration number and adjust if necessary.
What to do if Davis Instruments Weather Station display locks up?
If your Davis Instruments Weather Station console "locks up", reset it by removing both the AC and battery power, then restore the power. If this happens often when using AC power, plug the AC power adapter into a surge suppressor.
What to do if the Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 Weather Station display is blank?
If the display of your Davis Instruments Weather Station is blank, it means the unit isn't getting power. You should check the power adapter connections and consider replacing the batteries.
What to do if Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 is not uploading data?
If your Davis Instruments Weather Station isn't uploading data, try these steps: 1. Repower the device by unplugging the main power cable, waiting one minute, and then plugging it back in. 2. Ensure the status LED indicates normal function; otherwise, the device hasn't registered on the network. Check the LEDs. 3. Verify power to the weather station and ensure all cables are securely connected. 4. Measure the battery power using a voltmeter. If the issue persists, further assistance may be needed.
