Davis Rain Collector Cone and Heater for Vantage Pro2

The Rain Collector Heater with Cone may be used to protect the Rain Collector’s internal components from freezing and/or to measure the moisture content of snowfall. When the heater is on, it is capable of melting snow at a rate of 1/4” (6 mm) of liquid precipitation per hour. It may not be able to keep up with larger rates of snowfall.

The rain collector heater warms only the inside of the rain collector and the cone itself.
