Relocating the Anemometer Using Extension Cables: Note: Not all cables are compatible with your Vantage Pro system. To be sure they will work, order Davis extension cables from your dealer or directly from Davis Instruments. If you would like to locate the anemometer more than 40’ (12 m) from the ISS, use our extension cables #7876. -
Page 19: Troubleshooting
Try removing and then re- installing the cable to correct the faulty connection. If the sensor still functions intermittently contact Davis Technical Support. The Most Common Rain Collector Problem If the rain collector seems to be under-reporting rainfall, remove the rain collector cone to clean the tipping bucket and clear out any debris. - Page 20 4) and clear out any bugs or debris. Turn the shaft the cups rotate on. If it feels gritty or stiff, contact Davis Technical Support. DO NOT LUBRICATE THE SHAFT OR BEARINGS IN ANY WAY. When replacing the cups, make sure they are not rubbing against any part of the anemometer head.
