The Cabled Vantage Pro is powered by 9-volt DC (direct current) with battery
backup. Power may be supplied by an AC adapter (supplied with Cabled Van-
tage Pro stations), or with the optional 12 to 9-Volt Car/Boat/RV power
adapter. (See “Optional Accessories” on page 8.)
• WARNING:
The Vantage Pro system uses power differenly from the way older Davis stations did. Use only
a Davis Vantage Pro 9-volt power converter. Using an older Davis adapter will damage your Vantage Pro!
Powering your Vantage Pro
Because the Cabled Vantage Pro console supplies power to the sensor array
through the connecting cable, you must use the AC power adapter or the
optional Car/Boat/RV adapter to supply primary power. The three C-cell bat-
teries provide backup power and will operate the station for only a few days.
1. Insert the power adapter plug into the jack located on the right side of the console,
then plug the other end of the adapter into an appropriate power outlet.
The Vantage Pro should run through a brief self-test procedure. All the dis-
play segments on the LCD appear and the console will beep<!--number_!>
times.

2. Insert the C-cell battery backup.
Remove the access cover located on the back of the console. Insert 3 C batter-
ies into the battery channel, negative (or flat) terminal first. Push gently on
the last battery to seat all three in the channel and complete the circuit.

3. Replace the battery cover.
After power-up the Vantage Pro will automatically enter Setup Mode. Setup
mode will lead you through setting up and calibrating your station. See “Setup
Mode” on page 28.

The Vantage Pro comes with 40 feet of cable. Maximum cable length from ISS
to console is 1000 feet. See “Optional Accessories” on page 8 to purchase addi-
tional cable.
