Find Product No & Mfg Code
You will often need to know the exact Product Number and Manufacturing Code (Mfg Code) of a station
component to order the correct spare part or to assess compatibility of old and new parts.
Both Product Number and Mfg Code will be found on the label attached to every Davis main component.
The weather station components are broadly of three types:
• Sensor transmitters
• Display console units
• Weatherlink data loggers
Every Davis station has an ISS (Integrated Sensor Suite) as its main sensor transmitter, but some stations
will have additional transmitters such as anemometer and soil moisture transmitters. Labels for the sensor
transmitters will be found in one of two places:
• For Vue ISS units the label is on the underside of the ISS;
• For all other sensor transmitters the label will be found on the internal transmitter board cover, which
should be obvious once the transmitter’s outer door is open. For VP2 ISS units the outer cover needs
to be slid up to reveal the label. All other supplementary transmitters will have a hinged door and
again the label can be seen once the door is open.
The label for consoles is simply on the back of the console (or on its underside for the Envoy console).
The label for loggers is on the side of the logger that faces into the console when installed.If you need to
read a logger label then the logger must be removed from the console (the console must be powered fully
off when doing so and also when reinstalling the logger). (Note that the Mfg Code label for WeatherlinkIP
loggers is not the label with DID and Key details attached to the network connector.)
Product Number
The product number is the main Davis catalogue reference number, eg 6152UK for a wireless VP2 station
or 6250UK for the Vue or 6332 for the anemometer transmitter. There are two important points to note on
the product number:
First, the same ISS and console units may show as two different product numbers depending on whether
they were bought as part of a complete station or as a separate item. The product number will show as the
complete station number (eg 6152UK or 6250UK) on both ISS and console if originally bought as such. If
