Chapter 1

Welcome to Vantage Pro2™

Welcome to your Vantage Pro2 Weather Station console. The console dis-

plays and records your station’s weather data, provides graph and alarm

functions, and interfaces to a computer using our optional WeatherLink

software.

Vantage Pro2 stations are available in two basic versions: Cabled and

Wireless. A Cabled Vantage Pro2 station transmits outside sensor data

from the Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) to the console using a straight-

through four-conductor cable. A Wireless Vantage Pro2 station transmits

outside sensor data from the ISS to the console via a low-power radio.

Wireless stations can also collect data from the optional Vantage Pro2 sen-

sors. See “Optional Sensors” on page 2.

The Vantage Pro2 Quick Reference Guide included with your station pro-

vides an easy to use reference for most console functions.

Console Features

Keyboard & Display

The keyboard lets you view current and historical data, set and clear

alarms, change station models, enter calibration numbers, set up and view

graphs, select sensors, and read the forecast. The keyboard consists of 12

command keys located next to the screen display and four navigation keys

located below the command keys.

A weather variable or console command is printed on each com-

mand key. Just press a key to select the variable or function

printed on that key.

Each command key also has a secondary function which is

printed above the key on the console case. To select the second-

ary function, press and release 2ND (on the front of the con-

sole, upper right corner) and then immediately press the key for that

function.

Note: After pressing 2ND, the 2ND icon displays above the barometer reading on the

screen for three seconds. All secondary key functions are enabled during this time.

Keys resume normal operation after the icon disappears.

The up arrow, down arrow, left arrow, and right arrow naviga-

tion keys are used to select command options, adjust values,

and to provide additional functions when used in combination

with a command key.

Chapter 2

Installing the Console

The Vantage Pro2 console is designed to give extremely accurate readings.

As with any precision instrument, use care in its assembly and handling.

Although installing the console is relatively simple, following the steps

outlined in this chapter and assembling the Vantage Pro2 correctly from

the start will help ensure that you enjoy all of its features with a minimum

of time and effort.

Powering the Console

Cabled Vantage Pro2 Stations

Cabled Vantage Pro2 consoles supply power to the Integrated Sensor Suite

(ISS) through the console cable. Because of the added power consumption

of the ISS, the cabled console requires an AC power adapter or optional

Car/Boat/RV Lighter Cord for the main power supply. The console batter-

ies provide backup power for up to four to six weeks.

Wireless Vantage Pro2 Stations

Wireless Vantage Pro2 consoles do not require the use of an AC adapter.

You may use the included adapter if you wish, but the three C-cell batteries

should power a wireless console for up to nine months.

Note: When using an AC Power adapter, be sure to use the power adapter supplied with

your Vantage Pro2 Console. Your console may be damaged by connecting the

wrong power adapter. The console does not recharge the batteries. Because of this,

and because NiCad batteries do not power the console as long as alkaline batteries,

use alkaline batteries in the console.

Installing the AC Power Adapter

1. Remove the battery cover located on the back of the console by pressing

down on the two latches at the top of the cover.

2. Find the power jack located on the bottom of the console case.

Power Plug

Wrap Cord Around Pins

07395.234 Manual VP2 console Book.book Page 4 Wednesday, November 17, 2004 3:57 PM

Installing Batteries

3. Insert the power adapter plug into the console power jack, then plug the

other end of the adapter into an appropriate power outlet.

4. Check to make sure the console runs through a brief self-test procedure

successfully. On power up, the console displays all the LCD segments

and beeps twice. A message displays in the ticker banner at the bottom

of the console, followed by the first screen that displays during Setup

Mode. Press DONE to skip the message and enter into Setup Mode.

Setup Mode guides you through steps required to configure the station.

See “Setup Mode” on page 9 for more information.

Installing Batteries

1. Remove the battery cover located on the back of the console by pressing

down on the two latches at the top of the cover.

2. Insert three C batteries into the battery channel, negative (or flat) termi-

nal first.

3. Replace the battery cover.

Connecting Cabled Stations

Cabled Vantage Pro2 stations come with 100 feet (30m) of cable. This

cable is used for connecting the console to the ISS. Maximum cable length

from ISS to the console using Davis Instruments cables is 1000 feet. To

connect the console to the ISS:

1. Firmly insert the console end of the straight-through four-conductor

wire into the console receptacle marked “ISS” until it clicks into place.

Do not force the connector into the receptacle

Battery

Console Location

2. Ensure that the ISS cable is not twisted through the access port.

Note: The ISS must be assembled and connected to the console so that it is receiving

power before the console connection can be tested.

Once the console and ISS are both powered up, cable connection should be

tested and established.

Once the console is powered, it automatically enters Setup Mode. You can

step through the Setup Mode options, or exit the Setup Mode to test the

connection and sensor readings in Current Weather Mode. See “Setup

Mode” on page 9 for Setup Mode options. See “Current Weather Mode” on

page 20 for viewing and verifying current weather data coming from the

cabled console.

To verify that the console is receiving data from the ISS through the con-

sole connection, see “Cabled ISS Assembly” in the Integrated Sensor Suite

Installation Manual.

Console Location

You should place the console in a location where the keyboard is easily

accessible and the display is easy to read. For more accurate readings, fol-

low these suggestions.

• Avoid placing the console in direct sunlight. This may cause erroneous

inside temperature and humidity readings and may damage to the unit.

• Avoid placing the console near radiators or heating/air conditioning

ducts.

• If you are mounting the console on a wall, choose an interior wall.

Avoid exterior walls that tend to heat up or cool down depending on the

weather.

• If you have a wireless console, be aware of possible interference from

cordless phones or other devices. To prevent interference, maintain a

distance of 10 feet between the Vantage Pro2 console and a cordless

phone (handset and base).

To ISS

07395.234 Manual VP2 console Book.book Page 6 Wednesday, November 17, 2004 3:57 PM

Console Location

• Avoid positioning a wireless console near large metallic surfaces such

as refrigerators.

Table & Shelf Placement

The console kickstand can be set to three different angles allowing five dif-

ferent display angles.

1. Install the two round rubber feet on the bottom of the console. The

rubber feet help prevent damage to furniture and surfaces.

2. Lean the kickstand out by pulling on its

top edge

You’ll see the indentation for your fin-

ger at the top edge of the console.

3. Slide the catch to rest the kickstand in

the appropriate angle.

Choose low angles for display on a cof-

fee table or other low area. Choose

higher angles for display on a desk or

shelf.

4. Install the two rubber channel feet on the kickstand.

If necessary, pull up on the stand to close it. It will be a little tight, so it’s

okay to push hard enough to get it to slide.
