Unfortunately, the 6163AU has been discontinued, check out our other Professional Weather Stations for more options.
Includes free shipping, free returns, required batteries plus our exclusive double warranty, all valued at over $158.45
First and only weather station in its class to use frequency hopping spread spectrum radio technology to transmit weather data wirelessly up to 300 m. Includes Vantage Pro2 console/receiver, integrated sensor suite (ISS), and mounting hardware. ISS includes rain collector, temperature and humidity sensors, anemometer, 12 m anemometer cable, solar radiation sensor, UV sensor, sensor mounting shelf, and solar panel.
Temperature and humidity sensors are enclosed in our patented, solar-powered, 24-hour fan-aspirated radiation shield. Shield combines fan aspiration and passive shielding to minimize the effects of solar radiation.
ISS is solar powered. Electronic components are housed in a weather-resistant shelter. Console may be powered using the included AC-power adapter or with three C batteries (included).
Wireless range is up to 300 m outdoors, line of sight. Typical range through walls under most conditions is 60 to 120 m. Add wireless repeaters for distances up to 2.7 km.
For the professional users (and for home users wanting professional accuracy) the Davis Vantage Pro II series take weather stations to the next level.
Mounting pole sold separately.

Why customers love the IC6163AU Davis Vantage Vue Weather Stations
- Top end of the Davis range, meaning you are investing the highest end station they offer
- Fan aspirated radiation shield improves temperature accuracy by up to 1.5 C in areas of low air flow, meaning your temperature data will be the most accurate it can be.
- Includes solar radiation and UV sensor as standard, allowing you to measure Evapotransportation, UV and solar radiation, which opens up the world of microclimate data further.
