Build a Custom Network of Davis Sensors
The weather transmitter is the backbone of the weather station. The transmitter collects the data from the weather sensor array and transmits it to the receiver, such as a console or WeatherLink Live. The EnviroMonitor system also uses Nodes that transmit data to a Gateway. The Vantage Pro2 weather transmitters have a selection of ports to accommodate a range of sensor types.
Two Types of Wireless Transmitters
Davis Instruments also has stand-alone sensor transmitters that can be a perfect addition to your Vantage Vue or Vantage Pro2 weather station when used with a WeatherLink Live. You can install sensors in a sensor transmitter to wirelessly transmit data to WeatherLink Live up to 1,000 ft. In the EnviroMonitor System, Nodes transmit data to a Gateway and to each other so that you can create a weather transmitter array, making EnviroMonitor Nodes an excellent choice for remote locations and larger agricultural operations. Davis Instruments sensor transmitters are available in both AC-powered and solar-powered versions, and also have a battery backup that can last up to nine months.
Our sensor transmitters work with several sensors: temperature probes, humidity, wind speed and direction, rain gauge, UV, and solar radiation sensors. EnviroMonitor Nodes have an even greater range of sensor compatibility, including Davis sensors mentioned above as well as a wide selection of third-party sensors, including leaf wetness sensors, soil moisture sensors, pressure, flow meters, level sensors and many more. This compatibility means that they are versatile and can be used in many different applications. Davis Instruments is a trusted choice when it comes to collecting and transmitting weather and field condition data.
Sensor Transmitter
Sensor Transmitters are the building blocks of your custom network of sensors. They can be positioned indoors or outdoors and are capable of transmitting data up to 1,000 ft. (300 m). Each transmitter can support up to five sensors, including an Anemometer, Rain Collector, Temperature Probe or Temperature & Humidity Sensor, UV Sensor and Solar Radiation Sensor.
