Re: Davis Vantage without any Sensors or ISS
Thanks Steve,
Will probably slowly waste my money trying to get this one to work then, and will then get a VP2.

Re: Davis Vantage without any Sensors or ISS
Right, spending money again......
Now have an SIM with radiation shield, but still no sensors.
Looking to get the following sensors now.
The impossible Temp/Humidity sensors
Annometer
Solar
Rain Gauge
From looking about most should be easy to get, with the exception of the Temp/Humidity
Just need to find them for a sensible price.

Re: Davis Vantage without any Sensors or ISS
I think that you might have misunderstood my question,
on the PCB inside the sensor suite there is ayellow sticker, what does it say on it (you can see on this one that it says 1.1)
This is the SIM (Sensor Interface Module)

this is the ISS (Integrated Sensor Suite)

Re: Davis Vantage without any Sensors or ISS
Sorry mine looks different to that.
Can't see any yellow stickers either.

But I can't see a Yellow Sticker?
Do I need to remove the White Board?

Re: Davis Vantage without any Sensors or ISS
Yup, remove the cover and have a look, it will help determine whether you can use a new temperature sensor.

Re: Davis Vantage without any Sensors or ISS
OK With the Cover Removed mine looks like this
(same as yours with 1.1)
So I guess it's the older one and won't work with new sensors?
So what sensors will work on this board? That are still avaiable is it just
UV
SOLAR
WIND
RAIN

Re: Davis Vantage without any Sensors or ISS
That's right, wind rain solar and UV sensors are generic and will work with your SIM. I do have the anemometer available if your are interested, and a spare temperature/humidity sensor as well.
