Price: $269.00 AUD + GST
The IC0370 is a perfect home weather station for any keen weather enthusiast. Monitor key weather parameters such as temperature, wind speed/direction, and much more. Simple to read console, with WiFi connection allowing data upload to Jane's Weather via Weather Underground. Allowing for unique forecasts set to your hyper-local weather conditions. Through Jane's Weather see unique forecasts for temperature, humidity, Delta T* and more.
The IC0370 is the perfect home weather station for someone who is a keen weather enthusiast or wants to monitor the weather at their property. An entry level weather station that focuses on ease of use and via Janes weather create a unique hyper local weather forecast.
Such a station boasts an abundance of measurable parameters including rainfall, wind speed & direction, indoor/outdoor temperature & humidity, as well niche parameters including moon phase, barometric pressure and dew point. An approximate Delta T is calculated*, useful for monitoring conditions for spraying.
The outdoor sensor suite to console has a 100 metre line of sight connection range, and the console connects to Wi-Fi allowing data upload to Jane’s Weather, subsequently providing seamless, accurate and precise weather forecasting for your property.
*Delta-T calculated through Jane’s Weather PRO is an approximation based of temperature and humidity values, unlike an actual calculated value generated on higher-priced stations.
** Not recommended for coastal conditions, please see Silver & Gold products for suitable range.
Entering the professional domain are the Vantage Vue and Vantage Pro 2. Suitable for more commercial settings manufactured with durable protective plastic, and more sensitive sensors. Featuring a sensor suite with Wi-Fi connectivity range of 300 metres. For more remote locations, IC-6803 is a weather station receiver and modem enabling remote monitoring via 4G.
Davis Vantage Pro 2 IC-6252AU
Product Code: IC-6252AU
Price: $1,548.00 AUD +GST
From Davis Instruments the Vantage Pro 2 is a flagship product. Featuring a larger rain gauge for higher rainfall accuracy, a larger radiation shield, and additional sensor options. All of this allows for higher accuracy with readings. The option to mount the anemometer at the recommended height of 12M. With more sensor options Janes weather Pro subscribers are able to measure a further array of parameters including soil conditions, evapotranspiration and leaf wetness, leading to greater accuracy in hyper local weather forecasting^.
^With purchase of extra sensors
Davis Vantage Vue IC-6242AU
Product Code: IC-6242AU
Price: $1,087.00 AUD +GST
The Vantage Vue measures many key parameters with a high degree of accuracy. A professional weather station that is a step up from Bronze. With a tougher case resistant to salinity and UV. Measuring rainfall, wind speed and direction, indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity, moon phase, barometric pressure and dew point. From this a approximate Delta T* value can be calculated via Janes Weather, reporting spraying conditions.
Cabled versions of the Vantage Pro 2 are also available for applications where there are many radio channels open which would disrupt the radio frequency communication between the outdoor sensor suite and console. These versions can be equipped with data loggers and Meteobridge to allow for data transmission. For example, a construction site or shipping docks where radio channels can cause interference. For more information regarding cabled versions, please call Instrument Choice on 1300 737 871, setups can vary depending on the requirements of each individual site.

Davis 4G Enviromonitor Gateway
Product Code: IC-6803
Price: $1,581.00 AUD +GST
The 6803 is a weather stations receiver and modem that enables the upload of data to the cloud for remote units, so that data can be received and viewed by the customer to aid in monitoring field conditions, micro-climates, and compile measurement data for analysis.
uMetos Weather Station - uMetos-DELTA-T STATION
Product Code: uMetos-DELTA-T STATION
Price: $4,650.00 AUD + GST
The uMetos Weather Station is the gold standard for weather stations. Supporting LTE-M (LTE Cat M1) and NB-IoT (LTE Cat NB1) mobile network connectivity that enables field monitoring in remote locations that were previously inaccessible. Suitable for more industrial settings for farmers and researchers who require cutting-edge accuracy for critical decisions on crop maintenance and research needs alike.
Measuring all Jane's weathers PRO Parameters instantly and without the need for additional sensors. Being one of the only stations that can measure actual Delta T values, for more accurate spraying conditions. Equipped with a sonic anemometer for wind speed and direction allows for the most accurate reading across our ranges. All other measurements have the most accurate sensors within our range of weather stations.
The uMetos is a LPWAN weather station that supports LTE-M (LTE Cat M1) and NB-IoT (LTE Cat NB1) mobile network connectivity that enables field monitoring in remote locations that were previously inaccessible. Such data transmission is cheaper than 4G ($60-80 annually) as it sends data in smaller packages, allowing for faster upload speeds as well, making it best suited for farmers and researchers.
