The Davis 6253UK is an expandable, professional weather station that records barometric pressure, temperature, humidity, rainfall, and wind. The outside temperature and humidity sensors are housed in a 24-hour Fan-Aspirated Solar-radiation Shield, for maximum accuracy.
View your your live weather data on the interactive touchscreen display of the included WeatherLink Console, stream over Wi-Fi and view on the WeatherLink smartphone app, or online at WeatherLink.com.

All Vantage Pro2 stations include a versatile Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) that can be customised by adding further sensors.
The integrated sensor suite includes rain collector, temperature and humidity sensors, and anemometer, 12 m anemometer cable, and solar panel. Electronic components are housed in a weather-resistant shelter. The Integrated Sensor Suite includes the tipping spoon rain collector and the radiation shield for the temperature / humidity sensor. The radiation shield has a 24 hour solar powered fan for even greater accuracy The tipping soon mechanism records rain every 0.2mm and is chrome plated to reduce loss through evaporation.
The anemometer can be mounted separately up to 40ft (12m) from the rain collector. If you would like to mount it even further away, a separate transmitter is available as an accessory.
The 6253 includes two components: the Sensor Suite which houses and manages the external sensor array, and the WeatherLink Console which provides the user interface, data display, calculations, and optional upload to WeatherLink.com. The Sensor Suite and WeatherLink 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 WeatherLink Console can receive data from up to 8 different transmitters, including Sensor Suites. The frequency hopping spread spectrum technology provides greater communication strength over longer distances and areas of weaker reception |

Installation
|
Installation is very simple and can be carried out by almost anyone with a few basic tools. The only thing you should remember is to take care if you have to work at height.
The outdoor sensor suite and anemometer are supplied with U clamps for a 45mm Ø pole and coach screws for a post or wall. Larger U clamps can be used up to 65mm Ø
Davis weather stations require very little maintenance and do not require regular recalibration |
