As well as having all of the fantastic features of the standard Vantage Pro2 the PLUS DAV-6162 includes two additional sensors that are optional on the Vantage Pro2: the UV sensor and the solar radiation sensor. The addition of these sensors offers customers the option for information: Temperature Humidity Sun Wind Index; UV Dose & UV Radiation Index; Solar Radiation to be displayed on the console
The ISS; which houses and manages the external sensor array, and Vantage Pro2 console; which provides the user interface communicate via an FCC frequency hopping transmitter and receiver. This makes the Vantage Pro2 the first and only weather station in its class to use frequency hopping spread spectrum radio technology to transmit weather data wirelessly up to 1000' (300 m).
The cabled system ships complete with a 100' (30m) length of cable connects the outdoor ISS to the console; however this can be extended up to 1000' (300m) for unique installation instances.
