Well great test day with wind speed very low 0 mph much of day, sunny except maybe 2 clouds all day.
This is what can be expected on worse day passive vs FARS.
Both Meteoshields have additional top shield. I'm little skeptical of how well it helps at this latitude but it did provide partial shade most of day. That of course ends as we go into winter and top cover does little shading. As stated several times the Meteoshields have good response for passive they really leave the 7714 in the dust.
I can't recommend the Standard even at price point. Not horrible but I would spend money on the better 7714 before the standard.
The PRO is better than the 7714 imo so plan on adding second unit if they take the standard shield back. Still no response from them on returning. Maybe they didn't like what I said about it. Just it didn't meet my expectations...What's wrong with that?
Anyone getting one of these shields I recommend the 30' sensor just because the Davis plugs are so short. I do think Jerry said he got one working with stock setup but not 100% on that.
You will need to cut down the sensor to fit inside the Pro shield. I just used tin snips. For filter I used low VOC glue and just glued on using one corner of Davis filter. The glue I used easily pulls off later for changing. One stock Davis filter gives 4 filter changes.
Broke down FARS against each shield for cleaner comparision
