Evapotranspiration (ET) (Optional)
All the evapotranspiration
values share the same section
on the console as rain values,
below the barometric
pressure variable, on the right
side.
Note: Evapotranspiration, solar radiation and UV index measurements are available only when
the Vantage Vue console is listening to a Vantage Pro2 Plus ISS or other Vantage Pro2
ISS in which a solar radiation (and a UV sensor, for UV index) has been installed and
“VP2 ISS” has been selected in Screen 6 of the Setup Mode. See “Screen 6: Configuring
Transmitter IDs” on page 9.
1. Press and release 2ND then press ET to display the daily
evapotranspiration reading.
Note: If you hear an error beep when selecting ET, it means the station the console is selected
to “hear” is not a Vantage Pro2 station with a solar radiation sensor.
2. Press and release 2ND then press ET again to display the monthly
evapotranspiration reading.
3. Press and release 2ND then press ET a third time to display the
evapotranspiration reading since January 1st of the current year.
4. Press WxCEN to display the weather information available for all of the ET
variables in the Weather Center.
5. Press WxCEN multiple times to scroll through the ET-related Weather
Center screens, which include:
• ET Last __ Days — Displays the total ET amount over a user-selected
number of days. To change the number of days over which the total ET
amount is displayed, press the + and - keys when this screen is displayed
in the Weather Center. The number of days allowable is 26 (the last 25
days plus the current day).
• Solar Radiation — Displays the current solar radiation measurement for
the day.
• UV Index — Displays the current UV index.
