Configure Devices - DAVIS WeatherLink Console User Manual

DAVIS | WeatherLink Console User Guide
2. The Console Installation screen will appear. Make sure
you have a list of the transmitter IDs for your sensor suite
and any other transmitting stations (such as a standalone
Temperature/ Humidity Sensor installed on a Sensor
Transmitter) ready. Tap Begin Setup.
3. Follow the prompts to connect to your Wi-Fi.
Tip: If the device doesn't find your Wi-Fi network, make sure
you have entered the correct password and that you are
connecting to a 2.4 GHz network. It will not connect to a 5
GHz network. Then try repeating these steps.
Note: The console uses Wi-Fi to update the firmware
upon first use, as well as to maintain very accurate time.
You should connect to Wi-Fi even if you do not intend to
upload your data to WeatherLink.com. After setup, the
Console will not need to be connect to Wi-Fi, except to
get automatic firmware updates which occur automatically
at 3:00 a.m. local time when they are available. However,
you can set it up without Wi-Fi. Choose Use Offline Mode
and skip to step 6.
4. Wait while the Console installs the latest updates. This may
take as long as 30 minutes.
5. The next screen will allow you to create or log into your
WeatherLink account. Either create your account, log in to
an existing account, or skip this section.
6. Set your station's latitude and longitude. You can use the
map to find your location if your console is connected to
Wi-Fi, and latitude, longitude, and elevation will be set
automatically.
Tip: Make sure the elevation is correctly set to the
elevation of your Console, not your sensor suite. The
barometer is housed in the Console and changes quickly
with elevation. If your Console is in an upstairs room, be
sure to add that elevation.
7. Select country, time zone, time, and date (time should be
automatically set if using in online mode) and choose to see
time in either 24- or 12-hour format. Tap Next.
8. Name your Console. Give you Console a short name, such as
Bob's Home, or Aspen Cottage Weather. Tap Next.

The next screens will let you set up the Console to "listen"
to your transmitters.
1. Click on the ID to which your sensor suite is set.
2. In the next screen, choose the station type such as
Vantage Vue or Vantage Pro2.
3. Enter a name for this station such as My Vantage Vue,
or Cellar Humidity Sensor.
4. Make sure the Rain Collector setting matches your station's
rain collector type (0.01 inches or 0.2 millimeters). Select
any additional sensors you may have on your sensor suite
or transmitter. For example, if you have a Vantage Pro2 Plus,
choose Solar Rad and UV.
5. Advanced settings: This screen allows you to add a
yearly rain value to date. (For example, if you are setting
this device up in March, you can insert the rain data you
may already have for January and February). If you have
added a repeater, or a second wind station or third-party
anemometer, configure those on this screen.
You can also calibrate temperature, humidity, or wind using
this screen. Please be aware that Davis sensors are quite
accurate, and calibration is normally not needed. (See FAQs
on calibration, page 15)
6. Tap Save, then Save again to return to the Configure
Devices Screen. Continue adding any transmitting stations
you have in your system. Your Console can "listen" to up to
8 different transmitters.
7. When you are finished, tap Next.
