Screen 11: Barometric Reduction Setting
The Barometric Reduction Setting screen indicates the method by which barometric pressure
is to be determined and calculated. The factory default is NOAA, but in this screen you may
select a different method.
To change the barometric reduction setting:
1. Press + or - to change the barometer
reduction setting type:
• NOAA (Default Setting) — The
barometer is reduced to sea level using a
technique that factors in the humidity and temperature of the column of air.
• ALT SETTING (Altimeter Setting) — The barometer is reduced to sea level using a
“standard” column of air, often referred to as a “standard atmosphere.”
• NONE — Reports a raw barometric pressure reading unadjusted for elevation/altitude.
2. Press DONE to move to the next screen.
Note: See “Calibrating Barometric Pressure” on page 28 to learn how to fine-tune your barometric
pressure to a local source.
Screen 12: Wind Cup Type (Optional)
The Wind Cup Type screen displays if you selected VP2 or WIND in Screen 6 of the Setup
Mode. This screen does not display if you have selected a Vantage Vue ISS. See “Screen 6:
Configuring Transmitter IDs” on page 9 for more information.
The Wind Cup Type screen contains three options: LARGE, SMALL, or OTHER. In most
Vantage Pro2 anemometer or ISS Installations, LARGE is the cup type that is shipped with all
Vantage Pro2 anemometers. See the Vantage Pro2 Console Manual for more information.
To change the wind cup type:
1. Press the + and - keys to scroll through the
three wind cup options.
2. Press DONE to use the selected setting and
move to the next screen.
Note: Do not change the wind cup type from LARGE if you are using the wind cups that were
shipped with your system.
Screen 13: Rain Collector
The tipping spoon in the Vantage Vue rain collector
has been calibrated at the factory to measure either
0.01'' or 0.2mm of rain with each tip depending on
the model. This screen is used at the factory for this
calibration. The typical user will not need to change
it and can skip this screen.
Note: This screen will not change the units on your display. To change the units on your display
from inches to mm, or vice versa, see “Selecting Units of Measure” on page 26.
