Wireless Vantage Pro2™ &

( I n c l u d i n g F a n - A s p i r a t e d M o d e l s )
Vantage
Pro2™
(6152,
6153)
and
Vantage
Pro2™
Plus
(6162,
6163)
Wireless
Weather
Stations
include
two
components:
the
Integrated
Sensor
Suite
(ISS)
which
houses
and
manages
the
external
sensor
array,
and
the
console
which
provides
the
user
interface,
data
display,
and
calculations.
The
ISS
and
Vantage
Pro2
console
communicate
via
an
FCC
‐
certified,
license
‐
free,
spread
‐
spectrum
frequency
‐
hopping
(FHSS)
transmitter
and
receiver.
User
‐
selectable
transmitter
ID
codes
allow
up
to
eight
stations
to
coexist
in
the
same
geographic
area.
The
frequency
hopping
spread
spectrum
technology
provides
greater
communication
strength
over
longer
distances
and
areas
of
weaker
reception.
The
Wireless
Vantage
Pro2
Plus
weather
station
includes
two
additional
sensors
that
are
optional
on
the
Vantage
Pro2:
the
UV
sensor
and
the
solar
radiation
sensor.
The
console
may
be
powered
by
batteries
or
by
the
included
AC
‐
power
adapter.
The
wireless
ISS
is
solar
powered
with
a
battery
backup.
Use
WeatherLink
®
for
Vantage
Pro2
and
Vantage
Vue
®
to
let
your
weather
station
interface
with
a
computer,
to
log
weather
data,
and
to
upload
weather
information
to
the
internet.
The
6152
and
6162
rely
on
passive
shielding
to
reduce
solar
‐
radiation
induced
temperature
errors
in
the
outside
temperature
sensor
readings.
The
Fan
‐
aspirated
6153
and
6163
combine
passive
shielding
with
a
solar
‐
powered
fan
that
draws
outside
air
in
over
the
temperature
and
humidity
sensors,
providing
a
much
more
accurate
temperature
reading
than
that
available
using
passive
shielding
alone.
