Connecting Cabled Stations; Console Location - DAVIS Vantage Pro2 Plus User Manual

Connecting Cabled Stations

Cabled Vantage Pro2 stations come with 100 feet (30m) of cable. This cable
is used for connecting the console to the Integrated Sensor Suite. Maximum
cable length from sensor suite to the console using Davis Instruments cables
is 1000 feet. To connect the console to the sensor suite:
1. Firmly insert the console end of the straight-through four-conductor wire
into the console receptacle marked "ISS" until it clicks into place. Do not
force the connector into the receptacle.
2. Ensure that the sensor suite cable is not twisted through the access port.
Note: The sensor suite must be assembled and connected to the console so that it is
receiving power before the console connection can be tested.
Once the console and sensor suite are both powered up, cable connection
should be tested and established.
Once the console is powered, it automatically enters Setup Mode. You can
step through the Setup Mode options, or exit the Setup Mode to test the
connection and sensor readings in Current Weather Mode. See "Setup Mode"
on page 11 for Setup Mode options. See "Current Weather Mode" on page 20
for viewing and verifying current weather data coming from the cabled
console.
To verify that the console is receiving data from the sensor suite through the
console connection, see "Cabled Sensor Suite Assembly" in the Sensor Suite
Installation Manual.

Console Location

Place the console in a location where the keyboard is easily accessible and
the display is easy to read. For more accurate readings:
• Avoid placing the console in direct sunlight. This may cause erroneous
inside temperature and humidity readings and may damage the unit.
• Avoid placing the console near radiators or heating/air conditioning
ducts.
• If you are mounting the console on a wall, choose an interior wall. Avoid
exterior walls that tend to heat up or cool down depending on the weather.
