Configure and Set Up Your Vantage Connect
You will need to know the transmitter IDs of each transmitting station before you
configure your Vantage Connect.
Follow the prompts to enter setting and configuration:
1. Reporting Stations & Units of Measure
•
Enter the transmitter ID number of each of the transmitters that will be report-
ing to your Vantage Connect (up to 8). Choose a station type for each. (For
example, Vantage Pro2 ID: 1, Leaf and Soil Moisture Station: ID 2.) If using
repeaters, check the "Enable Repeaters" box and choose the final repeater's ID
letter for each transmitter using repeaters.
•
Choose your preferred units.
•
Click Save.
2. Device Settings
•
For accurate barometric pressure data, enter the elevation at which your
Vantage Connect will be mounted. Fine tune this sensor by entering the local
barometric pressure reading. (Sources of this information include your local
airport or radio station)
•
Select your anemometer and rain collector types.
•
For accurate year-to-date rain data, enter the year-to-date rainfall as of today,
and when your rain season starts.
•
Station Alarms (Optional): Set alarms for high and low weather conditions.
Vantage Connect will send up to 20 (counting both activate and deactivate)
email or text alarm notifications per day, outside of the plan's intervals, when
these conditions exist.
•
If necessary, you may calibrate temperature, humidity, and wind readings. (Be
careful when deciding to calibrate; Davis weather stations are factory-
calibrated for accuracy and may not match less accurate or less local data such
as reported on television or a web page.) Enter the amount of offset you want
the temperature or humidity reading to be reported. For example, if you believe
your outside temperature data is consistently 2 degrees too low, enter +2. If you
believe the outside humidity data is consistently 5% too high, enter -5. You
must calibrate the wind direction if your anemometer cannot be mounted so
that the arm points true north. Enter the direction the arm points, if not zero, in
degrees from 1° to 359°.

3. My Account. Enter your account information.

Enter your City, State, Country, and latitude & longitude

Enter a name for your station (this will become your web page title)

Choose a station type and usage from the pull-down menus
•
Choose whether to show display 24-hour time

Check the "Keep 'My Weather' private" box if you do not want your current
weather to be seen without a password. (No private information appears on this
screen.)

should clear highs and lows. (For example, while setting up, the wind cups
