Weather Station Equipment
Davis Cabled Vantage Pro2 Plus fitted with a Daytime Fan Aspirated Shield

The solar-powered fan runs during the day and is nearly 75% as effective in reducing the effects of daytime radiation compared to a fan aspirated shield operating 24 hours a day. Since there is no backup battery, the fan will cease running when night falls and the effects of radiation are less.

New life for an old unit.
The current camera is an analogue video camera c1996, rescued from the top of the wardrobe. Battery life was poor and you were lucky to
get 15 minutes of recording before the battery needed re-charging. The unit runs on mains power via an adaptor.
