enter the elevation as a positive number. Then, select the “0” immedi-

 

 

ately to the left of the left most non-zero digit (the second zero from the

Screen 11: Wind Cup Size

 

Vantage Pro2 Stations come standard with large wind cups. Switch this set-

 

ting to small only if you have separately purchased and installed small

 

wind cups.

 

 

Note:

Large wind cups are more sensitive to low wind speeds and are the best choice for

 

most users. Small wind cups are less sensitive at low wind speeds but can measure

 

much higher wind speeds. Install small wind cups if you wish to measure winds over

150 m.p.h. (242 km/h), (Category 5 hurricane). Maximum speed sensitivity decreases with age of the wind cups.
