DAVIS 6252AU - Introduction

Introduction
The wireless Vantage Pro2 sensor suite collects outside weather data and sends the
data to a WeatherLink Console. The sensor suite can also transmit data to
WeatherLink Live, a Vantage Pro2 or Vantage Vue console, or other Davis wireless
receiver. The wireless sensor suite is solar-powered and sends data via radio.
Tip: One wireless sensor suite can transmit to any number of receivers within its range,
so you can add additional receivers or consoles to use in different rooms.
The cabled integrated sensor suite sends the data to via cable to one cabled Vantage
Pro2 console, an EnviroMonitor® Gateway, or cabled Weather Envoy. The sensor
suite receives power via the console.
All Vantage Pro2 sensor suites include a rain collector, temperature sensor, humidity
sensor, and anemometer. Temperature and humidity sensors are mounted in a passive
or fan-aspirated radiation shield to minimize the impact of solar radiation on sensor
readings. The anemometer and vane measure wind speed and direction and can be
installed adjacent to the sensor suite or apart from it. See “Locating the Sensor Suite
and Anemometer” on page 18 for siting guidelines.
The transmitter shelter contains the “brain” of the sensor suite: the sensor interface
and the transmitter. It collects outside weather data from the sensor suite sensors and
then transmits the data to the WeatherLink Console or other Davis receiver.
Tip: Separate Solar Sensor (prod. no. 6450), UV Sensor (prod. no. 6490), Sensor
Mounting Shelf (prod. no. 6673), and Daytime Fan-Aspirated Radiation Shield (prod.
no. 7747) are available to upgrade a standard sensor suite.
