Sensors

Sensors are available in two versions: one for our Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2 line, and one for our original line of weather stations. Make sure you select the proper sensor for your station—they are not interchangeable.

Sensors feature 26-gauge (0.12 mm²) cable. Quick and easy plug-in cable connections use modular RJ connectors like those found on your telephone.

Leaf Wetness Sensor, Vantage Pro® and Vantage Pro2™ Use to monitor the level of surface moisture on foliage, with range from 0 (completely dry) to 15 (saturated). Add up to 2 sensors to a single Wireless Leaf & Soil Moisture/Temperature Station. Includes 40' (12 m) cable. Compatible with both original Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2. The Leaf Wetness Sensor must be connected via a Leaf & Soil Moisture/Temperature Station (#6345).     Solar Radiation Sensor For use with Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2. (Already included with Vantage Pro Plus and Vantage Pro2 Plus.) Measures solar radiation and is required (along with an anemometer and a temperature/humidity sensor) if you wish to monitor evapotranspiration. Diffuser element and housing are carefully designed for accurate cosine response. Silicon photo diode provides good match to solar spectrum. Two-piece housing minimizes radiation heating, allows convection cooling of the sensor, and prevents the trapping of water or dust. Includes built-in level and 2' (0.6 m) cable. Compatible with both original Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2. You may also need a UV Sensor (#6490) and Sensor Mounting Shelf (#6673).   (View Larger Image) Share This Page Solar Radiation Sensor For use with Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2.

oil Moisture Sensor, Vantage Pro® and Vantage Pro2™

Watermark® soil moisture sensor uses electrical resistance to measure the moisture level of the soil. Does not require periodic maintenance during the growing season. Simply bury at the desired depth, then monitor moisture levels throughout the season. Add up to 4 sensors to a single Leaf & Soil Moisture/Temperature Station. Includes 15' (4.6m) cable.

Compatible with Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2. The Soil Moisture Sensor must be connected via a Leaf & Soil Moisture/Temperature Station (#6345).

UV Sensor: Measures the sunburning portion of the UV spectrum.


 

UV Sensor

For use with Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2. (Already included with Vantage Pro Plus and Vantage Pro2 Plus.)

Measures the sunburning portion of the UV spectrum. Allows you to display UV index, dose rate, and daily and accumulated dose.

Multi-layer filter provides a spectral response that closely matches the Erythema Action Spectrum. Diffuser provides excellent cosine response. Two-piece housing minimizes radiation heating, allows convection cooling of the sensor, and prevents the trapping of water or dust. Includes built-in level and 2' (0.6 m) cable.

Compatible with both original Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2.

You may also need a Solar Sensor (#6450) and Sensor Mounting Shelf (#6673).

Stainless Steel Temperature Probe with Two-Wire Termination Multi-purpose temperature probe with 2-1/2" (64 mm)-long stainless steel housing. Use to measure temperature of air, soil, or water. Add up to four probes to a single Leaf & Soil Moisture/Temperature Station. Includes 15' (4.6 m) direct-burial cable. Compatible with both original Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2.

Multi-purpose temperature probe with stainless steel housing.

Stainless Steel Temperature Probe with Two-Wire Termination

Multi-purpose temperature probe with 2-1/2" (64 mm)-long stainless steel housing.

Use to measure temperature of air, soil, or water. Add up to four probes to a single Leaf & Soil Moisture/Temperature Station. Includes 15' (4.6 m) direct-burial cable.

Compatible with both original Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2.


Anemometer/Sensor Transmitter Kit

Stainless Steel Temperature Probe with Two-Wire Termination Multi-purpose temperature probe with 2-1/2" (64 mm)-long stainless steel housing. Use to measure temperature of air, soil, or water. Add up to four probes to a single Leaf & Soil Moisture/Temperature Station. Includes 15' (4.6 m) direct-burial cable. Compatible with both original Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2.

Anemometer/Sensor Transmitter Kit

For use with Wireless Vantage Pro2. Allows you to locate the anemometer independently from the rain collector, up to 300 m away from the console/receiver. For longer distances, add one or more wireless repeaters. Kit includes transmitter inside weather-resistant shelter, solar panel, mounting hardware, and battery.

Compatible with Vantage Pro2 only.
