O PTIONAL S ENSORS
The following optional sensors enable the GroWeather to measure and calcu-
late specialized weather information. All optional sensors are available from
your dealer or may be ordered directly from Davis Instruments.
• Anemometer
Enables you to measure and display wind speed, wind direction, wind
chill (with temperature sensor), and wind run. Also required for calcu-
lating ET.
• External Temperature Sensor
Enables you to measure and display air temperature and growing
degree-days or soil temperature.
Note: You may only use two of the following sensors at a time on your GroWeather: External Tem-
perature Sensor, External Temperature/Humidity Sensor, Stainless Steel Temperature Probe,
or Leaf Wetness Sensor.
• External Temperature/Humidity Sensor
Enables you to measure and display air temperature, humidity, growing
degree-days, temperature-humidity index, and dew-point. (See note in
external temperature section for restrictions.)
• Leaf Wetness Sensor
Enables you to measure and display the surface moisture on foliage. (See
note in external temperature section for restrictions.)
• Rain Collector
Enables you to measure and display daily and yearly rainfall and rate of
rainfall. Separate models measure rainfall in either 0.01-inch or 0.2-mm
increments. Optional Rain Collector Heater enables you to measure the
moisture content of snowfall or freezing rain.
• Solar Radiation Sensor
Enables you to measure and display solar irradiance and incident
energy. Also required for calculating ET.
• Stainless Steel Temperature Probe
Enables you to measure and display air temperature and growing
degree-days or soil temperature. Rugged stainless-steel construction
makes sensor ideally suited to measuring soil or water temperature. (See
note in external temperature section for restrictions.)
