About the Davis Vantage Pro2 Plus with 24-Hr Fan Aspiration, UV and Solar Sensors, and WeatherLink Console (6263)
When accuracy is important, the Davis Vantage Pro2 Plus with 24-Hr Fan Aspiration, UV and Solar Sensors, and WeatherLink Console is the research-grade weather station of choice.
The Davis Vantage Pro2 Plus includes a solar- and battery-powered, motor-driven fan that draws a constant airflow through the sensor chamber. At night, when the effects of radiation are less, the fan runs on the battery. This provides more accurate temperature readings than passive shielding alone. Deciding on whether or not to opt for fan aspiration in your setup? See our blog post for our recommendations.
This package includes the Davis Vantage Pro2 Plus Integrated Sensor Suite with 24-Hr Fan Aspiration, two sensors (UV and solar radiation), a sensor mounting shelf, and WeatherLink Console. It is further expandable through a wide variety of optional Davis sensors (some may require additional receiving or transmitting hardware).

FAQ
Who is the Davis Vantage Pro2 Plus with UV and Solar Sensors and WeatherLink Console best for?
We recommend the Davis Vantage Pro2 Plus for a wide variety of applications. It’s best suited for applications where a high degree of accuracy is desired. However, everyday weather watchers would be better served by the Davis Vantage Vue.
Does the Davis Vantage Pro2 Plus require batteries?
The Integrated Sensor Suite operates primarily on solar power. A CR123 battery provides backup power as necessary, and in typical installations, it should last 2-3 years. We do not recommend the wireless Vantage Pro2 Plus in locations that receive less than 6 hours of sunlight daily during winter.
How do I get the most accurate readings from my Vantage Pro2?
We strongly recommend placing your anemometer assembly as high as possible. One of the Vantage Pro2’s best features is the capability to separate the anemometer from the rest of the sensor suite. With 40 feet of wire, you can get the sensor to the official level of 33 feet. The fan aspiration found in this model will make temperature and humidity readings more accurate in direct sunlight.
