Quick Links

The ConsoleLink transmits weather data from your host weather station to
other DavisTalk™ compatible consoles and receivers. This allows you to send
weather data to one or more locations without using any wires.
The ConsoleLink connects to the Weather Monitor II and Weather Wizard II &
III. When the host station is equipped with all external and optional sensors,
the ConsoleLink can transmit the following weather data:
Data from Host
Inside Humidity
Outside Humidity
Inside Temperature
Outside Temperature
Rainfall
Wind Speed
Wind Direction
Barometer
For example, if your host station does not have a rain collector the ConsoleLink
will not transmit rainfall readings. Make sure the DavisTalk compatible
receiver you choose, displays the sensor data you need.
The ConsoleLink can communicate using one of 8 different ID codes. This
means that multiple systems can coexist in the same geographical area. The
unit includes a pass-through connector so that you can use a WeatherLink data
logger with the host weather station.
Note: The ConsoleLink operates on a low power frequency that does not require you to obtain an FCC
license.
