I have a Vantage Vue since 2010. It works great and the transmission range is tremendous. I also have the data logger which is very good as well- HOWEVER.. it really is time to update the software: WeatherLink which is truly outdated.
I love mine, and after seeing mine, my brother got one too. Thanks for making such a great unit.
still holding up?
Don't forget to align the unit's solar panel to accurately point South. Accurate wind direction readings and maximum solar power generation depend upon this step. You'll need a compass.
Use the north star, if you can find it. Depending on location, magnetic north can be a few degrees "off".
Despite the rumors that Davis vantage vue is the 2nd best weather station out there for private owners the radiation shield is not enough by far, when the sun is between the angle of 18 to 35 it shows 2-3c too hot, daytime between 11 to 6 it works very good thought but if you want data that is comparable to airports and NOAA you have to invest in a daytime-fan and connect it somehow which i also will.
Indeed, the morning sun heats it up much quicker than the actual temp..
Then drops down in temp once higher in sky
This was extremely helpful! Thank you very much for taking the time to go through step by step!
We're happy to help, and you're welcome!
We have very high winds here. When it rains and the winds are high the rain seems to blow by the catcher and doesn't go into the spoon. Therefore the unit registers very little rain. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there any way to fix this problem.
For that kind of environment, you might want to upgrade to a Vantage Pro2 with the new AeroCone rain collector. It is specifically designed to be more accurate in high wind/light rain environments.
Have one here in the Morvan Hills, Burgundy, France. What I really would like is it having a built-in UV sensor
Arie, we have that on our Vantage Pro2 Plus models. www.davisinstruments.com/product/wireless-vantage-pro2-plus-including-uv-solar-radiation-sensors/
Does the historic data get recorded on the station or the console? As in, if I have the station on land far way and only conect to the console one's a month, Do I still get the histotic data?
Data is recorded on the console and will only display/store data when connected to the station. Any historic data you view will only be from the data compiled while being connected to the station.
why are my wind cups goin clockwise arent readin but goin counterclockwise it is
For rain season what if i just got this station today? Would July be my rain season?
I had mine almost exactly 3 years just loved but now out of no where it no longer receives any outside data even put a new battery in but nothing support says it is "probably" a 160.00 transmitter but no refunds so now I have a table top thermometer. Really disappointing for the cost of this unit and the weatherlink module was well over 500.00 I would have expected it to last longer than it did..

Love it so much!!!!
Vantage Vue does not get Temperature right!
Because it does not have a fan inside the shield, once the sun hits it, the temperature increases way above the actual value.
Get a Vantage Pro 2 instead. Believe me, I bought the Vantage Vue once and had to send it back and ordered a Vantage Pro 2 with Fan Aspirated Radiation Shield.
I believe the "passive" aspiration system of the Vantage Vue is quite respectable in recording an accurate temperature. The Pro would certainly still be a "step up".
Luis, if your installation is in a place with high heat and low wind, the fan may be needed. Otherwise, our passive shields are fantastic! www.davisinstruments.com/product_documents/weather/app_notes/AN_24-temp-radiation-shield-comparison.pdf
You are right!
Davis Instruments The problem is that people never have one or they don’t read the instructions
We work really hard to make our instructions super comprehensive, clear and available, but you are right, sometimes they never get read!
That console though... Looks like something from the 1980's.
Which of your models will connect to the weather underground?
How do we get the Lat and Long and elevation?
is there a certain height the station should be I can only go so high?
Thanks for the video. I have one. I'm facing a problem. I don't get the signal from the ISS after the console is set. What to do? Please help. Thank you in advance.
Hello Shafrin, my first guess is that your transmitter IDs either don't match, or your console is "hearing" another sensor suite that is nearby. Try resetting the IDs on both the sensor suite and the console from 1 to some other ID. (Instructions for how to do this are in the manuals. Click Support Documents on this page: www.davisinstruments.com/product/vantage-vue-wireless-weather-station/
If that does not fix the issue, contact our Tech Support Team. They will figure it out! (510) 732-7814, M- F, 7:00 am to 5:30 pm PST; or support@davisinstruments.com
My Davis vantage vue does not register the correct rain fall and wind speed
So, it's going to be my Christmas present - from me, to me. The only question is there a way to mount the console on a wall?
Well, who's been a very good boy this year?? Yes, you can mount the console on the wall. It comes with keyholes on the back and instructions in the manual.
@@davisinstruments Thank you
It will be nice a color screen
Can i run sensors machine by battries?
The temperature is only displayed in whole numbers?
You can press TEMP button, then 2nd and UNITS (the TIME button). This will give you the xx.x format
Thank you for the response. Great to know.
Does this solar panel on the outdor sensor charge the battery?
Hw Lela. No, the solar panel runs the sensor suite and charges the supercapacitor to run it when there is no sun. The battery is a backup. It usually lasts a really long time, but if you live where there is less sunlight available it might need to be replaced more frequently.
Having bought a Fine offset around 2 years ago I'm now looking to upgrade and looking at the Davis Instrument array I have a few questions. Despite my low budget device, I was able to have the barometer, rain gauge and thermometer in my sheltered garden around 1.5 metres off the ground, thereby giving me an accurate air temperature reading. The wind recording equipment was on a pole 10 metres up. My questions therefore is if I use this all in one Davis Vue and I fix it 10 metres up, will the temperature be affected by the wind chill? My garden is enclosed, south facing, protected by other houses and quite sheltered from the wind. I live in the UK.
We're sorry for the delay, but wanted to be sure to get the full answer from our Tech Support crew for you. Here's what Leticia in Tech Support had to say:
Wind Chill is the perceived decrease in air temperature felt by the body on exposed skin due to the flow of air. Mounting the Vantage Vue 10 meters in the air will have an effect on temperature vs if it were at 1.5 meters. However, the temperature in an enclosed greenhouse will have a larger difference in temperature vs outside. Many factors can play into temperature variations. If you want to know what the temperature is in your green house then that is where you should place the station. A better option would be the Vantage Pro2 so you can place your anemometer at 10 meters and temp sensor at 1.5 meters.
Thanks for the reply and I understand all that you say. I think I've decided to look at weather stations that can be separated and as good as the Vantage Vue maybe I don't really think its going to be best suited to me. I have looked at the Pro 2...There are a couple of competitors out there which do come well reported but sadly are not the quality of Davis. Thanks again for your reply.
In case it is helpful, you can see a quick comparison of our stations here: www.davisnet.com/weather-monitoring/#comparison_chart
You can also see a detailed technical comparison of the Pro2 and Vue here: www.davisnet.com/resource/can-find-detailed-technical-comparison-vantage-pro2-vantage-vue/
Best of luck as you search for the right station for your needs!
Como cambiar latitud sur... como cambiar unidades de temperatura
Hola Luis. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, you need to calibrate wind direction on the console, and you can set your preferred units on the console too. See pages 26 and 27 of the manual: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0515/5992/3873/files/07395-261_im_06351.pdf?v=1623784828
Is there a way to export historical data from the console to excel?
You can get the data from the console via a WeatherLink data logger, then export to a tab delimited file (which can be imported to Excel or other programs).

I have the Vantage Vue . It's 2 to 3 degrees too hot during the day and is 2 to 7 degrees too cold on cold windless nights . No matter where I put the station on my property , high or lower in height , the same discrepancies in temperature happens. I had my unit sent back to Davis to check out the temp sensor but they sent it back with the thought nothing is wrong with it and it is calibrated correctly . Well I'm tired of it (Temperature) with being gigged by CWOP quality check, thus failing Q check. Also the wind speed/Direction is constantly fails Qcheck. It is way too expensive to have this happening . So I bought a Tempest WeatherFlow to use and to see if the same temps/Wind happen as with the Davis . Not happy with the high money paid for the Vue . AS of right now I do not recommend anyone to purchase one.
I'm sure there would be a lot of UK residents who would like to buy your instruments but you need to be aware that your pricing policy is killing sales here - perhaps one of the most weather obsessed nations on Earth. At the moment a Vantage Pro2 with FARS is more than twice the price in the UK than it is in the USA.
does it have Barometric pressure history?
Ooooh sorry we missed this question! Yes, the barometer is in the console. You can store some data in the console itself, but if you add a WeatherLink data logger you can archive your bar data (and all data) forever!
Yes, in the console.
Pretty contradictory compared to the installation manual. Very disappointing.
Damn that console belongs in a late 90s. You guys gotta make it look better for the money you charge
Why does it matter you watch the information it provides on either weatherlink or cumulus, the base station fills no other purpuse than transfer the signals between the components.
@@albin4323 Because technology has advanced enough to make new attractive displays at a cheap cost. It's not like this weather station is very cheap.
The wind thing? Really guys?
Wind vane… and yes I’m 5 years late 😂
