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 are the sunrise and sunset times incorrect on my DAVIS Vantage Pro?
If the times for sunrise and sunset are incorrect on your DAVIS Weather Station, check your latitude and longitude settings. Sunrise and sunset times are calculated from the console latitude and longitude settings.
Why does the wind direction always say North on my DAVIS Vantage Pro Weather Station?
If your DAVIS Weather Station wind direction always says North, it is usually an ISS problem, especially if the outside temperature is dashed out as well.
Why is my DAVIS Weather Station console sluggish at low temperatures?
If your DAVIS Weather Station console is sluggish or not working at low temperatures, it may be because the console and display may not work below 32º F (0ºC). Use an External Temperature sensor in low-temperature locations.
What to do if my DAVIS Vantage Pro Weather Station display locks up?
If the display of your DAVIS Weather Station locks up, reset the console by removing AC and battery power, then restoring power. If this occurs frequently in an AC-powered console, try plugging the AC power adapter into a surge suppressor.
Why are there no rain readings on my DAVIS Vantage Pro?
If your DAVIS Weather Station is not providing rain readings, make sure the cable-tie is removed from the rain collector. If you are using wireless sensors from a Weather Monitor II or Weather Wizard III, set the station type to SensorLink.
What does it mean if the wind direction reading is dashed out on my DAVIS Vantage Pro?
If the wind direction reading is dashed out on your DAVIS Weather Station, for a wireless model, check reception. For a cabled model, the cable may be faulty. If these steps do not reveal the problem, the anemometer may be faulty.
Why does the wind speed read 0 on my DAVIS Weather Station?
If your DAVIS Weather Station wind speed reads 0 either all the time or intermittently, the problem may be with the anemometer. Test the anemometer by spinning the wind cups and check fields one-b and two-b on the diagnostic screen.
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'.
How to fix a blank display on my DAVIS Weather Station?
