The Davis Instruments Leaf Wetness Sensor is designed for use with the Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2 weather stations. Its purpose is to monitor the level of moisture on the surface of leaves. The sensor provides a range of values from 0, indicating completely dry leaves, to 15, indicating saturated leaves.
This sensor can be easily integrated into the Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2 systems by connecting it to a Wireless Leaf & Soil Moisture/Temperature Station. The station can accommodate up to two leaf wetness sensors, allowing for multiple monitoring points. A 40-foot (12-meter) cable is included for flexibility in sensor placement.
The Leaf Wetness Sensor is compatible with both the original Vantage Pro and the newer Vantage Pro2 models. However, it should be noted that in order to use the sensor, it must be connected via a Leaf & Soil Moisture/Temperature Station, specifically model number #6345.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the Leaf Wetness Sensor work?
A: The Leaf Wetness Sensor works by using electrical resistance to measure the level of moisture on the surface of leaves. It provides a numerical value ranging from 0 to 15, with 0 indicating completely dry leaves and 15 indicating saturated leaves.
Q: Can I use the Leaf Wetness Sensor with my Vantage Pro weather station?
A: Yes, the Leaf Wetness Sensor is compatible with both the original Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2 models. However, it must be connected via a Leaf & Soil Moisture/Temperature Station, specifically model number #6345.
Q: How many Leaf Wetness Sensors can I use with my weather station?
A: The Wireless Leaf & Soil Moisture/Temperature Station can accommodate up to two leaf wetness sensors. This allows for monitoring at multiple points.
Q: Is a cable included with the Leaf Wetness Sensor?
A: Yes, a 40-foot (12-meter) cable is included with the Leaf Wetness Sensor. This provides flexibility in sensor placement.
