• The Display screen is packed with all the current weather data you need as well as date and time, sunrise and sunset, alarms, and ticker tape. You will see real-time data as it arrives from the sensors. The ticker tape area offers informational messages about active alarms, low batteries on the sensor suite, resyncing with sensor suite and more. (And in a good rainstorm, look for the “raining cats and dogs” message!)

• You can also see how many alarms you have set; the number will appear next to the clock in the lower left corner of the Display screen.

• The layout can be customized to show you the data you
  are most interested in. Choose a 3 X 2 layout for a total of 6 different tiles, plus the center wind rose.

• Within each tile, you can choose up to 2 different aspects. (For example, Outside

• Temperature and Outside Humidity in one tile.)

• Or choose the 2 X 2 layout for 4 different tiles, plus the center wind rose, with two or just one aspect in each

• Tip: Want to make your Console easier to read from across the room? Choose the 2 X 2 layout with just one aspect in each tile. The displayed values will be bigger, making it easier to see from a distance. You can also choose High Contrast mode to make it even easier to see

Note: All your data, whether you choose to display it or not on the Display is still updating. You can access it on the Data screen. You can change the Display at any time.
Note: To Customize your Display Screen, see Customize Display Menu Item on page 11.

USING THE WEATHERLINK CONSOLE WITH MULTIPLE WEATHER STATIONS

• If you have more than one station on your WeatherLink account, you can choose to see current conditions data from either one on the Display Screen. The primary station’s data is
  the default. To see additional or “remote” stations, swipe left.

• Swipe right to return to the primary station. Note that data from your primary station is always used in the other tabs (data, charts, and map).

• For example, you might have a Vantage Pro2 Plus reporting data from your backyard, and a Vantage Vue installed at your mountain cabin.

• Your Display will show data from your primary station, the Vantage Pro2 Plus. Swipe to the left anywhere o  the bulletin and the data in the tiles will be replaced by data from your cabin Vantage Vue.

• Tip: Data from additional or remote stations replaces the data in the tiles on the bulletin as it is set up for the primary station. When setting up your tiles on the display, consider that any data that your remote station does not report will show “NA.

• If you choose data parameters that both the primary and remote stations report, all tiles will show data.

• For example, if you set up a tile to show UV and Solar Radiation data from your Vantage Pro2 Plus, when you swipe to see the cabin Vantage Vue, the UV and Solar Radiation tile will show “NA

USING THE WEATHERLINK CONSOLE WITH AN AIRLINK AIR QUALITY MONITOR

• You can add a new or existing AirLink air quality monitor to your system and view air quality data on your WeatherLink Console.

Console Settings

• This menu item lets you fine tune your Console.

There are four tabs at the top of this screen.

1. Display Settings Tab allows you set preferences for Sleep, Do Not Disturb, Brightness, Ambient Light Tracking and Energy Saver Mode. Enabling Sleep will turn the display off after a period of time when the console is unplugged or when the Energy Saver Mode is enabled. It will “wake up” if you tap the screen once, or if an alarm is activated. The Do Not Disturb feature allows you to set times when alarms do not sound or wake the screen up (or you, for that matter). To enable the Do Not Disturb feature, tap the pencil icon in the Do Not Disturb field. Choose the times during which you do not want the console to wake up when a  alarm is triggered. (The default setting is 12 A.M. to 7 A.M.) Tap Save Changes and Exit. Tip: You can always “wake up” your console by tapping once on the screen. Brightness lets you set your preferred brightness. Ambient Light Tracking allows the screen to dim or brighten as the room darkens or lightens. Energy Saving Mode allows your display to go to sleep when not in use and there is no ambient light. If Energy Saving is not enabled (default setting), the backlight does not turn off; the display sleeps only when the console is unplugged and on battery backup. To turn on Energy Saving Mode, tap the On button.

2. The Units of Measure Tab allows you to customize the units of measurement you prefer.

   • Temperature: Fahrenheit or Celsius
   • Soil Moisture: Kpa, bar, or cb
   • Wind: miles per hour, knots, kilometers per hour, or meters per second
   • Rain & ET: inches or millimeters
   • levation: Feet or meters
   • Barometer: inHg, mmHg, mb, hPa

3. Display Format Tab allows you to choose how you want to see information on your Display Screen.

   • Language
   • Date Format
   • Time Format

4. Console Settings Tab allows you change display formats to more precision, calibrating, or to change what you set up previously.

   • Calibrate Inside Temperature and Humidity or Barometer
     Note: Davis Instruments sensors are quite accurate and should not need calibrating. However, you may do so on this screen.

   • Set Local Archive Rate
     This is the rate at which archive data is stored in the Console’s database. (It is NOT the frequency at which current data is updated, nor is it the frequency at which archive data is stored on WeatherLink.com.)

   • You can select 1 minute, 5 minutes (default setting), 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes. Remember that less frequent rates mean more data can be stored and therefore it will take longer before the database is filled and older data is overwritten.

Tip: To better understand Local Archive Rate, see Note: Understanding Data Rates on page 6.

• Edit elevation. Elevation is important for accurate barometric pressure readings. The Elevation should be as close as possible to the elevation of the Console itself, which houses the barometer. Take into account such things as the Console being in an upstairs room.
• Edit yearly rain year start.
• Set Online Archive Rate. This is the frequency at which your historical data is uploaded to the WeatherLink Cloud. Some faster update rates can only be selected if you have a Pro or Pro+ subscription.
• Control the Console’s brightness
• Choose Ambient Light Tracking to allow the consoles to change brightness according to the available light in the room.

Alarms

• This menu item allows you to set any number of alarms for any parameter. For example, you can set an alarm to notify you when the outside temperature nears freezing, or inside humidity reaches your selected threshold. When the condition for which you set an alarm occurs, the Console will notify you by listing the condition in the ticker tape area of the
• Display (when your Console is showing the Display screen) and with an audible alarm if you choose. You can choose the sound and the volume of the audible alarm.
• Tip: The volume and sound can be set for each alarm individually. This means you can have one sound that indicates that your rain alarm has been activated and another that indicates your temperature alarm has been activated.
• There are two tabs on this screen:

Use the Set Alarm tab to set up your alarms.

1. To set an alarm, enter a threshold value in the parameter you choose. For example, in the Outside Temperature fields, enter 33°F in the “Lo” field.
2. Click the Alarm Sound symbol to select an alarm sound and volume and to preview the sound.
3. Click Save to save your alarm.
4. To turn off the alarm, click the Off Alarm symbol that will appear on the Display screen. It will go off itself otherwise after one minute Use the Alarm History tab to see a list of alarms that have occurred and when.

Remote Alarms

• If you have more than one station, you can set alarms on WeatherLink.com for any of your stations and send them to your console. On your WeatherLink.com page, click the “wrench” icon, then Notifications, Console Notifications.

Device Information

• This menu item lets you see information about your Console and transmitters. At the top of the screen, you’ll see the console’s firmware, operating system, and radio module.

Chapter 5: Troubleshooting and FAQs

My weather readings seem wrong. How can I calibrate my console?

Davis sensors are factory-calibrated for accuracy and will normally not need any calibration. Comparing your data to TV reports or other sources is not recommended because weather data varies by microclimate. However, if you believe your Console does need calibration, go to the Accounts tab, then tap Console Configuration, then tap Stations and Sensors. Scroll down to the ID number of your station and tap Edit. On the sensor detail page, tap Advanced Settings. On the next screen, you may enter calibrations for outside temperature and humidity, and wind. To calibrate inside temperature and humidity, in the Accounts tab, tap Console Settings Vantage Pro2 and Vantage Vue sensor suites are factory-set to record wind direction accurately when installed so that the anemometer arm on the Vantage Pro2 points north, or the solar panel on the Vantage Vue points south. If your installation is in the Southern Hemisphere, or for some reason you cannot install the anemometer or sensor suite so the orientation is correct, you must calibrate wind direction on the Console Vantage Pro2 In the Wind Direction field, enter the direction, in degrees, the anemometer arm actually points. Vantage Vue In the Wind Direction field, enter the direction, in degrees, the solar panel actually points.

Why didn’t I hear the audible alarm when an alarm was triggered?

The main Display screen must be open to hear the audible alarm.

On the diagnostics page, my radio signal strength shows fair. Is that okay?

Yes. The signal strength is a real-time reading and can fluctuate. Fair and good are both indicators of sufficient strength. You can verify by looking at the reception percentage

How do I turn off an alarm?

When an alarm is activated, you will see a notification in the Ticker Tape area of the Display screen. To silence the audible alarm, tap the Alarm Off symbol. The alarm will go off by itself after a minute if you do not turn it off.

Can I clear some data like erroneous rain tips?

No. Erroneous data will be permanently recorded. You can avoid recording erroneous data by being careful not to tip the rain spoon or by powering down your Console when mounting, moving, or maintaining your sensor suite. See page 4 for instructions on how to power down your console.

How long will the backup battery last if I lose AC power?

Less than a day.

Can I power my console from a USB port on my computer?

No. The computer USB port will not supply sufficient power. Use the included 2A AC adapter

How can I change my Wi-Fi network?

Go to the Account tab and tap Console Configuration. Tap the pencil icon next to your network.

Can I retransmit from an older Vantage Pro2 or Vantage Vue console?

Yes. Your older console is a useful transmitter that can retransmit to your new one. Refer to the original Vantage Pro2 or Vantage Vue Console User Guides to learn how to set up your old console to retransmit on its own ID number. Choose any open ID. You will need to set your WeatherLink Console to listen to this transmitter ID. The old console will become one of your Stations and Sensors. To add it, go to the Accounts screen, choose Console Configuration, then choose Stations and Sensors. Tap the ID number that the old console is retransmitting on. On the next screen, choose Vantage Pro2 or Vantage Vue depending on your sensor suite.

Why can’t I see forecasts?

• Internet-based, localized forecasts are only available when you are in Online mode. (Logged in to WeatherLink.com.)
• I am not sure about whether to upload to WeatherLink.com.

Can I set this up later?

• Yes, you can create a WeatherLink.com account any time now or in the future. However, the start date for your data on WeatherLink.com will be when you create and connect your Console to your account

If I disconnect fromWeatherLink.com account and reconnect later, will the data stored in the Console be pushed toWeatherLink.com ?

• Yes. When reconnected, your Console’s stored data will be pushed to your WeatherLink.com account.

What does “Offline” and “Online” mode mean?

• Offline mode keeps you connected to Wi-Fi to ensure accurate time but disconnected from WeatherLink.com.
• Online means your Console is connected to Wi-Fi and also connected to your account on WeatherLink.com. This will give you access to live updates on your mobile app and your page on WeatherLink.com, as well as specialized internet-based forecasts.
• Your Console can also operate offline and off Wi-Fi as a standalone device.

Appendices

APPENDIX A: WEATHER DATA

• Refer to this appendix to learn more about the weather variables that are measured, displayed, and logged by your Console. Some weather variables require optional sensors.

Wind

• The anemometer measures wind speed and direction. The Console calculates a 10-minute average wind speed and 10-minute dominant wind direction. The 10-minute average wind speed is displayed in the Console ticker whenever wind has been selected on the Console. The last six 10-minute dominant wind directions are included in the compass rose wind display.

Temperature

• The sensor suite houses the outside temperature sensor in a vented and shielded enclosure that minimizes the solar radiation induced temperature error. The Console houses the inside temperature sensor. Additional temperature sensors are available for wireless stations and can measure up to eight locations.

Apparent Temperatures

• Your Console calculates three apparent temperature readings: Wind Chill, Heat Index, and the Temperature/Humidity/Sun/ Wind (THSW) Index. Apparent temperatures use additional weather data to calculate what a human body perceives the temperature to be in those conditions

Wind chill

• Wind chill takes into account how the speed of the wind affects our perception of the air temperature. Our bodies warm the surrounding air molecules by transferring heat from the skin.
• If there’s no air movement, this insulating layer of warm air molecules stays next to the body and offers some protection from cooler air molecules. However, wind sweeps that warm air surrounding the body away. The faster the wind blows, the faster heat is carried away and the colder you feel. Wind has a warming effect at higher temperatures

Heat Index

• The Heat Index uses temperature and the relative humidity to determine how hot the air actually “feels.” When humidity is low, the apparent temperature will be lower than the air temperature since perspiration evaporates rapidly to cool the body. However, when humidity is high (i.e., the air is more saturated with water vapor) the apparent temperature “feels” higher than the actual air temperature, because perspiration evaporates more slowly.

Temperature/Humidity/Sun/Wind (THSW) Index

• The THSW Index uses humidity and temperature like for the Heat Index, but also includes the heating effects of sunshine and the cooling effects of wind (like wind chill) to calculate an apparent temperature of what it “feels” like out in the sun. The THSW Index requires a solar radiation sensor.

Humidity

• Humidity itself simply refers to the amount of water vapor in the air. However, the total amount of water vapor that the air can contain varies with air temperature and pressure. Relative humidity takes into account these factors and offers a humidity reading which reflects the amount of water vapor in the air as a percentage of the amount the air is capable of holding. Relative humidity, therefore, is not actually a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air, but a ratio of the air’s water vapor content to its capacity. When we use the term humidity in the manual and on the screen, we mean relative humidity.
• It is important to realize that relative humidity changes with temperature, pressure, and water vapor content. A parcel of air with a capacity for 10 g of water vapor which contains 4 g of water vapor, the relative humidity would be 40%. Adding 2 g more water vapor (for a total of 6 g) would change the humidity to 60%. If that same parcel of air is then warmed so that it has a capacity for 20 g of water vapor, the relative humidity drops to 30% even though water vapor content does not change. Relative humidity is a crucial factor in determining the amount of evaporation from plants and wet surfaces since warm air with low humidity has a large capacity to absorb extra water vapor.

Dew Point

• Dew point is the temperature to which air must be cooled  for saturation (100% relative humidity) to occur, providing there is no change in water vapor content. The dew point is an important measurement used to predict the formation of dew, frost, and fog. If dew point and temperature are close together in the late afternoon when the air begins to turn colder, fog  is likely during the night. Dew point is also a good indicator of the air’s actual water vapor content, unlike relative humidity, which takes the air’s temperature into account. High dew point indicates high water vapor content; low dew point indicates low water vapor content. In addition, a high dew point indicates a better chance of rain, severe thunderstorms, and tornadoes.

• You can also use dew point to predict the minimum overnight temperature. Provided no new fronts are expected overnight and the afternoon relative humidity is greater than or equal to 50%, the afternoon’s dew point gives you an idea of what minimum temperature to expect overnight, since the air can never get colder than the dew point. Dew point is equal to air temperature when humidity = 100%.

Rain

• Your Vantage Pro2 or Vantage Vue sensor suite uses a tipping spoon rain collector that measures 0.01” or 0.2mm for each tip of the spoon.  Your Console logs rain data in the same units it is measured in and converts the logged totals into the selected display units (inches or millimeters) at the time it is displayed.

• Four separate variables track rain totals: “rain storm,” “daily rain,” “monthly rain,” and “yearly rain.” Rain rate calculations are based on the interval of time between each bucket tip, which is each 0.01’’ rainfall increment or 0.2 mm.

Barometric Pressure

• The weight of the air that makes up our atmosphere exerts pressure on the surface of the earth. This pressure is known as atmospheric pressure. Generally, the more air above an area, the higher the atmospheric pressure, this means that atmospheric pressure changes with altitude.

• For example, atmospheric pressure is greater at sea level than on a mountaintop. To compensate for this difference and facilitate comparison between locations with different altitudes, atmospheric pressure is generally adjusted to the equivalent sea level pressure. This adjusted pressure is known as barometric pressure. The Console measures atmospheric pressure. When you enter your location’s altitude, the Console stores the necessary offset value to consistently translate atmospheric pressure into barometric pressure.

• Barometric pressure also changes with local weather conditions, making barometric pressure an extremely important and useful weather forecasting tool. High-pressure zones are generally associated with fair weather while low-pressure zones are linked with poor weather. For forecasting purposes, however, the absolute barometric pressure value is generally less important than the change in barometric pressure. In general, rising pressure indicates improving weather conditions while falling pressure indicates deteriorating weather conditions.

Solar Radiation

• What we call “current solar radiation” is technically known as Global Solar Radiation, a measure of the intensity of the sun’s radiation reaching a horizontal surface. This irradiance includes both the direct component from the sun and the reflected component from the rest of the sky. The solar radiation reading gives a measure of the amount of solar radiation hitting the solar radiation sensor at any given time, expressed in Watts/sq. meter (W/m2). Solar radiation requires the solar radiation sensor.

UV (Ultraviolet) Radiation

• Energy from the sun reaches the earth as visible, infrared, and ultraviolet (UV) rays. Exposure to UV rays can cause numerous health problems, such as sunburn, skin cancer, skin aging, cataracts, and can suppress the immune system. The Vantage Pro2 helps analyze the changing levels of UV radiation and can advise of situations where exposure is particularly unacceptable. UV radiation requires the UV radiation sensor. The Console displays UV readings in two scales: MEDs and UV Index.

Note: Your station’s UV readings do not take into account UV reflected off snow, sand, or water, which can significantly increase your exposure. Nor do your UV readings take into account the dangers of prolonged UV exposure. The readings do not suggest that any amount of exposure is safe or healthful. Do not use your Console to determine the amount of UV radiation to which you expose yourself. Scientific evidence suggests that UV exposure should be avoided and that even low UV doses can be harmful.

UV MEDs

• MED (Minimum Erythemal Dose) is defined as the amount of sunlight exposure necessary to induce a barely perceptible redness of the skin within 24 hours after sun exposure. In other words, exposure to 1 MED will result in a reddening of the skin. Because different skin types burn at different rates, 1 MED for persons with very dark skin is different from 1 MED for persons with very light skin. Both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Environment Canada have developed skin type categories correlating characteristics of skin with rates of sunburn.

TABLE A-1: EPA SKIN PHOTOTYPES

TABLE A-2: ENVIRONMENT CANADA SKIN TYPES AND REACTION TO THE SUNA

•  Developed by T. B. Fitzpatrick of the Harvard Medical School. More about the Fitzpatrick Skin Types is available in: Fitzpatrick TB. Editorial: the validity and practicality of sun reactive skin types I through VI. Arch Dermatol 1988; 124:869-871

• Use this plot to estimate the MED dose leading to sunburn. A person with Type lI (Environment Canada) skin type might choose 0.75 MED as the maximum for the day; in contrast, a person with Type V (Environment Canada) Skin Type might consider 2.5 MEDs a reasonable dose for the day.
  NOTE: the Vantage Pro2 assumes a Fitzpatrick (Environment Canada) Skin Type of II.

UV Index

• The Console can also display UV Index, an intensity measurement first defined by Environment Canada and since been adopted by the World Meteorological Organization. UV
• Index assigns a number between 0 and 16 to the current UV intensity. The US EPA categorizes the Index values as shown in table A-3. The lower the number, the lower the danger of sunburn. The Index value published by the U.S. National Weather Service is a forecast of the next day’s noontime UV intensity. The index values displayed are real-time measurements.

Evapotranspiration (ET)

• Evapotranspiration (ET) is a measurement of the amount of water vapor returned to the air in a given area. It combines the amount of water vapor returned through evaporation
  (from wet surfaces) with the amount of water vapor returned through transpiration (exhaling of moisture through plant stomata) to arrive at a total. Effectively, ET is the opposite of rainfall, and it is expressed in the same units of measure (inches, millimeters).

• The Console uses air temperature, relative humidity, average wind speed, and solar radiation data to estimate ET, which is calculated once an hour on the hour. ET requires the optional solar radiation sensor.

Leaf Wetness

• Leaf wetness provides an indication of whether the surface of foliage in the area is wet or dry by indicating how wet the surface of the sensor is. The leaf wetness reading ranges from 0 (dry) to 15. Leaf wetness requires an optional Leaf & Soil Moisture/Temperature Station and is only available for Wireless Vantage Pro2 Stations.

Soil Moisture

• Soil Moisture, as the name suggests, is a measure of the moisture content of the soil. Soil moisture is measured on a scale of 0 to 200 centibars and can help choose times to water crops. The soil moisture sensor measures the vacuum created in the soil by the lack of moisture. A high soil moisture reading indicates dryer soil; a lower soil moisture reading means wetter soil. Soil Moisture requires an optional Leaf & Soil Moisture/Temperature Station or Soil Moisture Station and is only available for Wireless Vantage Pro2 Stations.

Time

• The Console has a built-in clock and calendar for time and date. When connected to Wi-Fi, the user sets the location and the Console then automatically sets the current time/date, and time zone, as well as determining whether Daylight Saving Time is in use.

• arometric pressure readings are standardized to sea level.
  • Elevation Range: -1410’ to +15,000’; -600 to +4660 m.

APPENDIX D: WIRELESS REPE ATER CONFIGURATION

• A Vantage Pro2 Wireless Repeater (#7627) or Long-Range Wireless Repeater (#7654) increase transmission distances or improve transmission quality between a station and the Console.
• A repeater receives information transmitted from a transmitting station and retransmits it to the Console. Depending on transmission distance, one repeater or several repeaters can be used to collect and retransmit weather data.

Console communicating with repeaters must be set up with the correct Transmitter ID and Repeater ID before the Console can correctly receive station information.

1. On the Account tab, tap Console Configuration, then tap the pencil icon on Stations and Sensors.
2. Scroll down to the sensor you want to retransmit and tap Edit, then tap Advanced Settings.
3. In the Repeater field, tap > and choose the repeater name that you want console to listen to. If you have more than one this is the one that is closest to the Console. Tap Save Changes.
4. To verify that you have successfully set up your console to receive the repeater, wait 15 minutes to see data appear.
