Davis Instruments6357 Vantage Vue Wireless Sensor Suite

Q: My Davis Vantage VUE ISS needs a repair in the $100 range. Thinking of this new unit instead. Will this new unit auto-link w/ existing VV monitor?

Depending on the nature of the repairs needed, I agree that purchase of a new unit is the best way to go. I recently had a mishap with mine while trying to take it down for maintenance which resulted in damage to the ISS which possibly could have been repaired but I don't think it would have ever regained the same level of weatherproofing as it had when it was new and pre-damage. If you purchase a new ISS, it will come with an installation manual which outlines (on page 5), the procedure for changing the Transmitter ID. However you should not have to do this since it is set to "1" by default, which is probably what your damaged ISS was set to, and also what your console is set to receive. In my case all I did was disable my damaged ISS by removing the battery and waiting for a while (there must be an internal capacitor that the solar panel charges), since even in it's damaged state it was still transmitting to the console. When I got my new ISS, it was configured for Transmitter ID "1" by default, and so my Vantage VUE console started receiving data from it right away. But again when you get the new ISS, if you find that you need or want to change the transmitter ID, you can using the procedure in the installation manual. All of these docs are also available on Davis's website in PDF form, by the way. Hope this helps and good luck!

Q: How much does the sensor suite weight?

The product description says the shipping weight is 4.5 pounds. I would guess the unit itself is somewhere between 2 and 3 pounds. Another answer sent to you says they have it mounted on a 3/4 inch metal pole and has withstood 66 MPH winds with no problems.

Q: Is it already calculated and ready to go for my console.

I think you mean calibrated - yes, provided you have the console that is compatible with it. The other two answers will also helpful to you. BTW, my neighbor about 100 yards away has the same Vantage transmitter and VUE receiver. He had to take his down when he had his roof replaced. He has not put it back up because he is getting readings from mine - LOL!

Q: I bought my dad this for Christmas. Is it supposed to have the monitor screen with it, or does that come seprate?

We already had a Pro-vantage console and just bought this suite of sensors. if you don't have the monitor, you will need to get the transformer wireless or cable version of the transmitter 6316 plus the software (sold separately) to use it on your computer (http://www.amazon.com/Davis-Instruments-Weather-wireless-version/dp/B00106UDTQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419637033&sr=8-1&keywords=davis+instruments+6316). To get the suite of sensors with the console (monitor) you can return what you bought to Amazon and order the Davis #6250 (http://www.amazon.com/Davis-Instruments-6250-Vantage-Wireless/dp/B002LLVFK0) or, you can order the monitor separately http://www.amazon.com/Davis-Instruments-Vantage-Console-Receiver/dp/B002OBHSJO/ref=pd_sim_sg_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1D5ZH6EW5H0V758BCFV2. Hope this helps.
