Wireless and Cabled Models
The Wireless Weather Envoy (# 6316) and Cabled Weather Envoy (# 6316C) provide a quick and easy way to get
weather data onto your Windows 95 or later computer or Macintosh OS X computer using our WeatherLink software.
WeatherLink allows you to log weather data, display graphs and plots on your computer, export weather data to a
spreadsheet, and to upload weather information to the Internet.
The Weather Envoy includes sensors to measure inside temperature, inside humidity, and barometric pressure. It is
intended to be used in conjunction with our Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) to report outside temperature and humidity,
rainfall, wind speed and direction. Using optional sensors, the Weather Envoy can also report solar and UV radiation.
The Wireless Weather Envoy can be used in conjunction with our Wireless Temperature, Wireless Temperature and
Humidity, and Wireless Leaf and Soil Moisture/Temperature stations. All wireless products communicate via FCC-
certified, license-free transmitters and receivers. The Cabled Weather Envoy is connected directly to the ISS via a
cable and cannot be used with any other sensor stations and cannot be used with the Vantage Pro2 console. The Cabled
Weather Envoy may be powered by batteries or by the included AC-power adapter.
Please refer to the Wireless or Cabled Vantage Pro2 Weather Station Spec Sheets for detailed information on the
Vantage Pro2 ISS data.
