My Davis Vantage ProII is living in kind of extreme weather conditions, but it has been delivering stable weather data for years and years. The only problem has been related to a battery change during winter time with poor lighting conditions for the solar Power.
For almost a year ago I did experience problem with the tipping bucket registering the rain rate. I have had a hard time finding good information related to this problem, both on the Internet and through the dealer network. I did however get a good response from the support point at the official Davis web page – the problem could be caused by a broken red switch at the tipping bucket!
The Norwegian dealer was contacted, and after a couple of months I had 2 red switches delivered!
The mounting of the Red switch into the tipping bucket is not well documented online. Here are some photos describing the process:
 Remove the tipping bucket by pressing the plastic base gently to the sides, removing the axle |
Remove the tipping bucket base from the base unit by firmly pressing the two latches
