Davis Instruments 7627

Because my sensors are located marginally within range of my home, I elected to install a repeater. As a result I have a rock solid signal throughout my house. As it turns out, the 6152 unit would have functioned without the repeater, but I don't regret including it in my installation. I look forward to many years of trouble free operation.

This wireless repeater was purchased from WeatherShack to be installed with a Davis Instruments model 6153 weather station. This system was installed in a small residential home yard. However, it was anticipated that there were a number of features which could interfere with the radio signals. This included a patio cover which looks like painted wood, but is actually aluminum formed to look like wood. The ISS was mounted higher than this patio cover and could prevent the radio signal from reaching some portions of the house. The repeater worked fine. It is set up to repeat the signal from the ISS and the anemometer transmitter kit and communicate with the console. It was easy to set up and works fine. By using this repeater, the console works in any location in the house or outside in the yard. WeatherShack was great to work with. They provided everything in a timely manner. It was all packaged very securely. Everything was configured correctly right out of the box. Set up a easy. The instructions were very clear.
