Topic: Davis Vantage Vue Wind Direction Issue

[scudwatcher]

Greetings from the CSRA!  Currently, my wind direction sensor is not correct.  Inaccurate direction is being viewed on the console versus physical observation of the wind vane direction.  I recently moved this weather station to a different location.  During the moving process, the wind vane module shaft was accidentally bent.  I tried to bend the shaft back, but now realizing that it may be slightly damaged.  I will first attempt to calibrate the wind direction module later today.  Just incase, I ordered a replacement wind direction module from SCALED INSTRUMENTS for 25 bucks plus shipping….My advice in moving the VUE ISS, is to remove the wind cups and vane assemblies to protect the module shafts and parts from being damaged….

I did that when I moved houses, took the Vue ISS completely apart. While I was at it, order the refresh kit from Davis. Been working like a charm now for two years since the move.

Thank you for your response, Stetson1!  I calibrated the wind direction module this afternoon and it seems to be indicating the accurate direction so far.  But, I did order the replacement module for backup.
