How to fix a blank display on my DAVIS Weather Station?
If your DAVIS Weather Station display is blank, it might not be receiving power. Check the power adapter connections and/or replace the batteries.
Why does the inside temperature sensor reading seem too high on my DAVIS Vantage Pro?
If your DAVIS Weather Station inside temperature sensor reading seems too high, move the console out of direct sunlight. Ensure that the console or sensor isn't in contact with an exterior wall that heats up in sunlight or when the outside temperature rises. Also, make sure the console or sensor isn't near a heater or other internal heat source, such as lamps or appliances. Check the calibration number and adjust if necessary.
Why does the inside temperature sensor reading seem too low on my DAVIS Vantage Pro Weather Station?
If your DAVIS Weather Station inside temperature sensor reading seems too low, make sure the console or other temperature sensor is not in contact with an exterior wall that cools down when the outside temperature drops. Also, ensure the console or other temperature sensor is not near an air conditioning vent. Check the calibration number and adjust if necessary.
Why does the outside temperature sensor reading seem too high on my DAVIS Weather Station?
If the outside temperature sensor reading seems too high on your DAVIS Weather Station, check the calibration number and adjust if necessary. The ISS or temperature sensor may need to be relocated.
Why does the outside temperature seem too low on my DAVIS Vantage Pro Weather Station?
If the outside temperature seems too low on your DAVIS Weather Station, check the calibration number and adjust if necessary. Sprinklers may be hitting the ISS radiation shield, consider relocating it.
What to do if my DAVIS Weather Station display shows dashes instead of weather data?
If your DAVIS Weather Station shows dashes in place of weather data, possible causes include: the ISS not being plugged in (for a cabled station), sensors not transmitting (for a wireless station), the console not receiving data (for a wireless station), or a reading exceeding the limits in the specifications table. In the last case, check the calibration number and adjust if necessary.
Why does the wind chill reading seem too high or too low on my DAVIS Vantage Pro Weather Station?
If your DAVIS Weather Station wind chill reading seems too high or too low, check the calibration numbers for the temperature. Remember that wind chill depends on both temperature and wind speed, so ensure both are working correctly.
Why does the heat index reading seem too high or too low on my DAVIS Weather Station?
If your DAVIS Weather Station heat index reading seems too high or too low, check the calibration numbers for the temperature. Remember, the heat index depends on temperature and outside humidity, so make sure they’re working correctly.
Why does the dew point reading seem too high or too low on my DAVIS Vantage Pro?
If your DAVIS Weather Station dew point reading seems too high or too low, check the calibration numbers for temperature. Remember, dew point depends on temperature and outside humidity, so make sure they’re working properly.
Why does the inside humidity seem too high or too low on my DAVIS Vantage Pro?
If your DAVIS Weather Station inside humidity seems too high or too low, make sure the console is not 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, see the information about 'inside temp'.
