[wxqc] Davis Vantage Pro2 Question

[dr. Lee]

I own a Davis pro 2 plus and the cable supplied is plenty long if you
install it to NWS standards.

1. the weather vain should be at 33 ft and they supply 40 ft.
2. the rest of the interments should be at 3 meters above ground below the
weathervane.

So you have plenty of cable supplied by Davis for an install.

  Hello To All,

  I'm new to the eGroup.

  I just purchased a Davis Vantage Pro2 with the optional fan aspirated
temperature/humidty shelter. As all know the Pro2 has the integrated sensor
suite (ISS) with wind vane/anemometer attached. You can run the included
cable of 40 feet between the ISS and anemometer/wind vane unit and add cable
extensions of up to 540 feet.

  For better wind data accuracy I need to detach the anemometer/wind vane
from the ISS and place it at 35 feet up on a mast, further away than the 40
foot included extension cable.

  I have aquestion. Is the 40 foot extension cable a regular telephone type
cable with male connectors on each end? In other words can I buy regular
telephone cable extensions at Wal Mart or Home Depot to use between the ISS
and anemometer/wind vane? Or do I have to buy the Davis (overpriced in my
opinion) cables?

  Next month I'm buying the model #6332 wireless version of the wind
vane/anemometer and the cable thing will not be an issue.
