Why does my Davis Instruments Vantage VUE Weather Station wind speed reading seem too low?
Remove the wind cups and check for any friction. Also, check the location of the ISS (Integrated Sensor Suite) to ensure it is not sheltered from the wind.
What to do if Davis Instruments Vantage VUE wind speed reads 0?
The problem might be with the wind cups. Test them by spinning. Check the corresponding wind fields in the diagnostic screens and call technical support.
Why does my Davis Instruments Vantage VUE console become sluggish at low temperatures?
The console and display might not function correctly below 32° F (0° C). Consider using an external temperature sensor or installing the console indoors.
Why does my Davis Instruments Vantage VUE inside temperature sensor reading seem too low?
Ensure the console isn't touching an exterior wall that cools down when the outside temperature drops and that it is not near an air conditioning vent. Check the calibration number and adjust it if necessary.
What to do if my Davis Instruments Vantage VUE has no rain readings?
Make sure the rain funnel is not clogged with debris.
Why does my Davis Instruments Vantage VUE heat index reading seem too high or too low?
Check the calibration numbers for the temperature sensor. The heat index depends on temperature and outside humidity, so ensure these sensors are working properly.
Why does my Davis Instruments Vantage VUE Weather Station wind chill reading seem too high or too low?
Check the temperature calibration numbers. Wind chill depends on both temperature and wind speed, so ensure both sensors are functioning correctly.
Why does my Davis Instruments Weather Station outside temperature seem too low?
Check the calibration number and adjust if necessary. Also, check if sprinklers are hitting the ISS radiation shield and relocate if needed.
Why does my Davis Instruments Vantage VUE dew point reading seem too high or too low?
Check the calibration numbers for the temperature sensor, as dew point depends on outside temperature and humidity. Ensure that both sensors are working correctly.
What to do if Davis Instruments Vantage VUE 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.
