Purchase a Vantage Connect Service Plan.

Vantage Connect requires an annual service plan. Choose #6632, 6634, or 6636 in

Davis reseller or purchase a plan during your registration process on

WeatherLink.com.

After purchase, you will receive an e-mail with an Activation Code that you will

use to register online.

Note: Register your Vantage Connect online and wait 5 to 10 minutes BEFORE you power

it up to avoid a delay in uploading data. If you already powered up before

registering, remove power from the Vantage Connect, register, then repower.

1. When you receive the e-mail with the Activation Code, follow the instructions

in the e-mail. (Or, go to www.weatherlink.com; click on Register. Select the

Vantage Connect option.)

Configure and Set Up Your Vantage Connect

You will need to know the transmitter IDs of each transmitting station before you

configure your Vantage Connect.

Follow the prompts to enter setting and configuration:

1. Reporting Stations & Units of Measure

• Enter the transmitter ID number of each of the transmitters that will be reporting

to your Vantage Connect (up to 8). Choose a station type for each. (For example,

Vantage Pro2 ID: 1, Leaf and Soil Moisture Station: ID 2.) If using repeaters,

check the “Enable Repeaters” box and choose the final repeater’s ID letter for

each transmitter using repeaters.

• Choose your preferred units.

• Click Save.

2. Device Settings

• For accurate barometric pressure data, enter the elevation at which your Vantage

Connect will be mounted. Fine tune this sensor by entering the local barometric

pressure reading. (Sources of this information include your local airport or radio

station)

• Select your anemometer and rain collector types.

• For accurate year-to-date rain data, enter the year-to-date rainfall as of today,

and when your rain season starts.

• Station Alarms (Optional): Set alarms for high and low weather conditions.

Vantage Connect will send up to 20 (counting both activate and deactivate)

alarm notifications per day when these conditions exist.

DID: 0012746AAS00

KEY: 123456

• If necessary, you may calibrate temperature, humidity, and wind readings. (Be

careful when deciding to calibrate; Davis weather stations are factory-

calibrated for accuracy and may not match less accurate or less local data such

as reported on television or a web page.) Enter the amount of offset you want

the temperature or humidity reading to be reported. For example, if you believe

your outside temperature data is consistently 2 degrees too low, enter +2. If you

believe the outside humidity data is consistently 5% too high, enter -5. You

must calibrate the wind direction if your anemometer cannot be mounted so

that the arm points true north. Enter the direction the arm points, if not zero, in

degrees from 1° to 359°.

• Click Save.

3. Clear Highs and Lows. Clear any erroneous highs and lows that were created

during installation of your station. (For example, while setting up, the wind

cups and vane were spun. This false “high wind” data should be cleared.)

Click Clear Selected Data or, if no erroneous data has accumulated, click

Cancel.

4. My Account. Enter your account information.

• Enter your City, State, Country, and latitude & longitude

• Enter a name for your station (this will become your web page title)

• Choose a station type from the pull-down menu

• Choose whether to show display 24-hour time

• Check the “Keep ‘My Weather’ private” box if you do not want your current

weather to be seen without a password. (No private information appears on this

screen.)

5. Click Save.

6. You can edit these settings at any time by logging in to your account and

clicking My Account then [edit] (to edit account information or change your

password); or, in the My Device box: Edit Configuration, Edit Settings, or

Manage Stored Data.

Note: These settings and configurations will be pushed to the Vantage Connect at the first

update after it is set up and powered. The changes will then be sent to your

WeatherLink.com page at the next update. So the changes will not appear on your

page after at least 2 update intervals. (Update intervals are 5, 15 or 60 minutes

depending on your service plan). With high network traffic, this may take longer.

Prepare for installation

Remove all cardboard and packing materials from inside the shelter. (Be sure to

remove the cardboard from behind the battery.)

Before proceeding with installation, make sure the main power cable is

disconnected from the main power jack.

Connect the battery

The Vantage Connect is shipped with one battery cable (the red, or positive cable)

disconnected to prevent battery drain. Connect the red cable to the red terminal.

Install the Vantage Connect

If you have not already set up your ISS or additional station, do so first. (See the

instruction manual that came with your ISS or additional station.)

Mount the Vantage Connect shelter

Choose a location for your Vantage Connect. It can be mounted on a pole or a flat

surface such as a wall or a wooden post. The shelter should be mounted within

transmission range of your ISS. (Maximum of 1000 feet (300 m), line-of-sight,

open air.)

It is important that the shelter be mounted so that the solar panel gets the greatest

amount of sunshine -- the solar shelter should be facing south (in the northern

hemisphere) or north (in the southern hemisphere).

Tip: Mounting the shelter may be easier if done by two people.

Mounting on a Flat Surface

Attach the shelter to the mounting surface in the desired location using the lag

screws and backing plates as shown below. Use a pencil or a center-punch to mark

the location of the pilot hole.

Mounting On a Pipe

Mount the Vantage Connect onto a pipe with an outside diameter of 0.84'' to 1.84''

(21 mm to 27 mm) using the U-bolts, backing plates, washers, and hex nuts

provided.

Note: For mounting on larger diameter pipes, the housing can accommodate U-bolts with

5/6'' (8 mm) threads for pipes up to 2.40'' (61 mm) outside diameter (not provided).

Power Up

Note: Register your Vantage Connect online and wait 5 to 10 minutes BEFORE you power

it up to avoid a delay in uploading data. If you already powered up before registering,

remove power from the Vantage Connect, register, then repower.

1. If using Vantage Connect with a cabled ISS, remove the plug from one of the

holes in the bottom of the shelter. Run the ISS cable up through the hole.

Outside the shelter, wrap a split grommet around the cable and push the

grommet securely into the hole. Plug the cable into the ISS cable jack.

2. Plug the main power cable back into the jack. You should hear two beeps.

The Vantage Connect will now begin to acquire both the radio signal from the

weather station as well as the cell signal. You will be able to observe this by

watching the LED lights.

• While the Vantage Connect is searching for signals, the LED lights will flash.

The weather station status LED (top) will flash green. The cell status LED

(bottom) will flash blue.

• When the signals are acquired, the LEDs will stop flashing and stay on. When the

lights are solid green (weather station) and blue (cell network), the station has

acquired both signals and is connected and operating normally.

• After several minutes, the solid LED lights will time out and go off.

If there is a connection error, the lights will flash quickly. Their behavior will

indicate the type of error. See Troubleshooting on page 9.

Note: The LED lights can be reactivated by pressing and releasing the blue status LED on/

off button. After pressing the button, wait for up to 30 seconds for lights to come on.

Access Data

Once your Vantage Connect is registered on the network, powered up, and

connected to both signals, it will begin uploading the latest data to the server.

Data is uploaded to your page on WeatherLink.com along with daily highs and

lows. The “My Weather” page shows the weather conditions uploaded at the last

upload interval. (5, 15 or 60 minutes, depending on your service plan.)

Note: It takes up to 2 minutes for the data received from Vantage Connect to be processed

to the web site. For example, if you have a 5-minute update plan, the data received

at 12:05 may not appear on the web site until 12:07.

Download Data From WeatherLink Network to PC

You can download your data stored online to your PC through the WeatherLink

software and use WeatherLink to create graphs and reports. Downloading can be

done manually, or you can set up automatic downloads in WeatherLink software.

If you choose manual downloads, remember that the amount of data stored on the

server depends on the update interval of your service plan. Be sure to download

within the time period below for your service plan, otherwise older data will be

lost.

Data Plan Max Data Stored

5-minute plan 1 month

15-minute plan 3 months

60-minute plan 1 year
