Had an idea, I have the passive radiation sensor from before I put in the 24 hr fars unit. If I open up the case of the Davis Temperature station, I see the same plugs I would see in the ISS. In fact the first sensor is marked Temp/Humd.
the question, do you think the temp humid sensor would work in the temperature station and transmit both variables?
-
Yes, it will work. I did the same thing 3 years ago with no problems. It is still running today.

When I got my 24 hr Fars, I had Archer Trading post leave in the Temp/Humid sensor the unit came with. What he does is takes a part a new Davis with FARS. removes the FARS and the temp/humid unit. I had he leave the new sensor in place and bought it that way.
So I have the old sensor sitting around here and I have the extra temp Humid sensor and I have a temperature station that is monitoring the garden shed. I thought I could attach the temperature humid sensor to that station and go from there.

I had the 6372 and bought the T/H sensor from Archer to put the 6372 in a more remote spot in the yard. I mounted the T/H sensor in a 7714 shield that I used with the 6372, just spliced in a length of 6 conductor wire for what I needed at the new location. Also added a Davis fan and a solar panel that comes with the DFARS kit so that it is now a solar powered DFARS 6382. A little work, maybe? a little more money, but it works great.
