Modbus RTU / TCP - Vantage Pro2 Weather Station Kit
Complete weather station kit featuring a Vantage Pro2 with a Modbus RTU / TCP gateway. The kit includes the weather station, Envoy, and gateway, and is available in both wireless and cabled versions of the Vantage Pro2. Options include Standard, Standard with Fan, Plus, and Plus with Fan. The Plus version comes with additional UV and solar radiation sensors.
** Dear customer, please note we can not ship Davis Instrument weather stations outside Australia, however, you we can still ship the Gateway worldwide.
The Davis Vantage Pro2 weather station is a research-grade system that delivers professional-quality data for weather enthusiasts, researchers, farmers, and meteorologists. It provides real-time readings of wind speeds up to 200 mph, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, rainfall, and other key metrics such as heat index, dew point, highs and lows, and more.
The sensor suite features a detachable anemometer for flexible placement. Users can also add a Solar Radiation Sensor, a UV Sensor (Plus), and a Daytime Fan Aspirated Radiation Shield Kit (Standard with Fan OR Plus with Fan) for enhanced functionality. The Vantage Pro2 sensors are NIST-traceable, ensuring reliable and accurate weather data reporting for professional use.
Included with the Kit:
- The Serial WeatherLink Cable
- The Standard Modbus Gateway (KTA-382S, for PoE model Contact us)
- The Cabled or Wireless Envoy
- The ISS
All of our weather station equipment is configured with radios set to frequencies that comply with Australian regulations.

Data available:
- Indoor Temperature and humidity (Weather Envoy)
- Outdoor Temperature and humidity (Integrated Sensor Suite)
- Instantaneous wind speed and 10-minute average wind speed
- Wind direction
- Current barometric pressure
- Rain rate
- The volume of rain in the last day, month and year
- Date and time of the last storm and volume of rain in the last storm
- Status of alarms
- Forecast status
- Time of sunrise and sunset
All of the above data can be accessed via Modbus RTU / TCP with the Ocean Control Modbus Gateway (KTA-382S). The Vantage Pro2 Modbus Weather Station Kit is highly customizable to fit your specific application. You can select from the following compatible hardware options:
Standard or Plus ISS
The Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) consists of a rain collector, temperature and humidity sensors, and an anemometer (with a 12m cable for flexible placement away from the ISS). To enhance accuracy, the temperature and humidity sensors are housed within a radiation shield that protects them from solar radiation and other sources of reflected or radiated heat. The ISS is available in two variants:
- Standard ISS: Contains rain collector, temperature, humidity, wind speed & direction sensors.
- ISS Plus: Adds solar radiation and UV sensors to the standard ISS.
Wired or Wireless
The ISS can transmit data to the weather station either through a cable or wirelessly.
- The wired version features the Cabled ISS and Cabled Envoy. The cable can be run up to 300 metres.
- The wireless version features the Wireless ISS and Wireless Envoy. Wireless range is 300 metres line-of-sight, or 60 to 120 metres indoors.
Naturally or Fan Aspirated
Both wireless and cabled ISS modules can be equipped with either a naturally aspirated or fan-aspirated radiation shield. These shields help prevent solar radiation from impacting temperature measurements. The naturally aspirated shield limits solar radiation-induced temperature measurement errors to less than 2°C under worst-case conditions. The fan-aspirated version pulls external air through the sensor body, reducing the error to less than 0.3°C in the worst-case scenario.
Modbus RTU / TCP Gateway
The Modbus RTU / TCP gateway enables the transmission of weather data to a Modbus network. It supports Modbus RTU and TCP.
