Current Weather Mode
Metric Rain Collector Settings
Use the following procedures to set up your Vantage Pro station to display
rain data in millimeter. See “Rain” on page 47 for more information.
Note: Vantage Pro stations measure rain in 0.01 inch increments and also store rain data in inch
units. When you select metric units for rain data, the logged data is converted from inches to
millimeters at the time it is displayed.
Console Setup: Rain Collector Settings
1. Enter Setup Mode by pressing DONE and - at the same time.
2. Press DONE repeatedly until you see the Rain Collector setup screen.
The rain collector should be set to 0.01 inch.
3. If necessary, press + or - to change the setting to 0.01”.
The rain collector tipping bucket is calibrated at the factory to measure
0.01” of rain with each tip. The 0.1mm and 0.2 mm settings will not
provide accurate rain measurements.
4. Exit Setup Mode by pressing and holding DONE until the Current
Weather screen appears.

Selecting Metric units for one rain variable will also set
all the other rain variables to Metric units.
2. Press and release the 2ND key.
3. Press the UNITS key once.
The units used to display Rain data will toggle between
inches and millimeters each time you repeat this key
sequence.
To Display Rain in Metric Units in WeatherLink
Refer to WeatherLink Help for instructions required to set the rain collector to
0.01” and to select millimeters as the unit for rain.
Calibrating, Setting, and Clearing Variables
To fine-tune your station, you can calibrate most of the weather variables.
For example, if your outside temperature seems consistently too high or too
low, you can enter an offset to correct the deviation.
