An integrated, corrosion-proof sensor suite combines a rain collector, temperature and humidity sensors, and anemometer into one package for rugged reliability and performance. The innovative integrated sensor suite combines a rain collector, temperature and humidity sensors, and anemometer into one package—making setup easier than ever and improving performance and reliability. For improved accuracy, temperature and humidity sensors are housed inside a radiation shield. The shield protects against solar radiation and other sources of radiated and reflected heat. The anemometer comes with 40 feet of cable so it can be elevated for optimal performance. (You’ll get barometric readings from the Vantage Connect or Weather Envoy.)
INNOVATIVE SENSOR SUITE Our innovative integrated sensor suite combines our rain collector, temperature and humidity sensors, and anemometer into one package—making setup easier than ever and improving performance and reliability.

The anemometer comes with 40 feet of cable so it can be elevated for optimal performance. (You’ll get barometric readings from the Vantage Connect or Weather Envoy.)
PERFECT FOR USE WITH CABLED VANTAGE CONNECT This cabled integrated sensor suite is perfect for field installations where a Cabled Vantage Connect will be used to access your data instead of a console. Or you choose Cabled Weather Envoy and WeatherLink to access your data.
The sensor suite is powered by the Vantage Connect or Weather Envoy. (If a console is to be used with the sensor suite, choose the Cabled Vantage Pro2 Plus weather station, product number 6162C, which includes the console.)
Accurate, reliable weather monitoring with real-time data updates every 2.5 seconds.
Industry-leading transmission range of 1,000ft/300m from the sensor suite to a Vantage Pro2 or Vantage Vue console, or to an EnviroMonitor IP Gateway.
Mount anemometer up to 40ft/12m from the rest of sensor suite for flexible siting.
Sensor suite’s rugged, weather-proof housing gives you years of reliable data.
Sensor suite includes outside temperature and humidity sensors in a passive radiation shield; wind speed and direction; and rainfall.
Add optional UV and Solar Sensors or Leaf & Soil Moisture Station.
