My Vantage Pro 2 has lost its temperature device, and the console is
showing blanks for 'temp out', 'hum out' and 'dewpoint'. I have had a brief look at the AWS itself and all looks well. I made sure the connection for temp was firmly in place, without any change in the blanks. Has anyone had this problem and solved it? Is there, for instance, a replacement available for the temp device? Hugh -- Hugh Newbury www.evershot-weather.org |

Hi
Mine failed last week, exactly as you describe. I did try dismantling and cleaning and it briefly worked again. I then contacted http://www.mcmurdo.co.uk/ and they sent me a new sensor out. It arrived within 24hrs and the VP2 is working fine again. Mine was out of guarentee so cost £50. I got the feelin there is "known" fault with these sensors and that I was lucky to get 3 years use out of mine. I think they cost considerabley more normally. Fairly easy to fix yourself.

Paul C Brampton Is this a problem with the VP, as I have had my WMII for 10 years and never encountered a problem with the temperature sensors?

I have had a VP1 since 2001 and the temperature sensor is still OK. The VP2 may use a different sensor for all I know. Alan Gardiner Chiswell Green, St Albans 101m ASL 24/10/2009 07:35:40 |

It's good to know I'm not alone with my problems. I'm beginning to think Davis are not as good as they think they are. I'll try McMurdo. I'll report back, in case yet more people have this problem.

For anyone who's not already aware of it, the VP1/VP2 T/H sensor is
covered as a topic (which also links to some relevant related topics) on our VP knowledgebase, which you can access at: http://vp-kb.wikispaces.com/Sensor+Errors2 NB Not all of the KB is publicly viewable without registration - please see the Full Wiki Access topic - but the T/H topic itself is unrestricted.
