The external temperature sensor and the stainless steel temperature probe may 
be used with any of Davis’ weather stations (except the Perception II

 

®)

 

. With 

the exception of the GroWeather, the sensor may be used to measure outside 
temperature, though you may bury the sensor or immerse it in water to mea-
sure soil or water temperature instead of air temperature. The GroWeather™ 
allows you to display two separate external temperature readings (or a single 
temperature reading and leaf wetness). You may use this sensor for either tem-
perature reading. The standard version of each sensor comes with a 40’ (12 m) 
cable. The industrial version comes with a 16’ (5 m) cable.
