Rain Collector Cone & Heater f/AeroCone - *Not For Use With Classic Rain Cone

Rain collector cone and heater replacement kit Vantage Pro2 rain collectors with AeroCone. Heats ice and snow to keep your rain collector from freezing.

All Vantage Pro2 stations come with the AeroCone. Unfortunately, the heater will not work properly with the new AeroCone. This kit includes the heater and the larger old style cone to replace the AeroCone for those freezing winters that bring snow and ice.

Keep snow from filling your Vantage Pro2 rain collector with this heater. Great for use in cold climates to measure freezing rain or the moisture content of snowfall.

The heater warms the inside of the cone during cold weather. A thermostat switch turns the power off when temperatures rise and back on when they fall.

Note: The heater must be plugged into an electrical outlet. Heater is not compatible with AeroCone; it is only compatible with the old style, larger rain cones.

Specifications:

  • Capable of melting liquid snow at a rate of 1/4" (6mm) of liquid precipitation per hour
  • Warms only the inside of the rain collector and the cone itself
  • Off/On switch allows you to turn heater on when you expect freezing conditions, and turn it off again when weather warms
  • When turned on, the themostat switch turns power off if temperature reaches 110°F (43°C), and turns it back on with temperature drops to about 85°F (30°C)
  • Cable length can be extended to 120' (36M) with two-twisted pair wire; further with single pair cable
  • Replacement kit for stations with AeroCone rain cones

  • Old style rain cone, bird spikes, and debris screen

3 of 5 Heater should be easier to install November 29, 2024
Reviewer: Joseph Bellina from Sugarloaf, PA USA  
This heater should have better connection set up and waterproof power supply that can be left out in the elements. Or the Vantage Pro 2 should have optionally it built-in. The cabling provided should probably be solid strand as that is more durable during installation, if this kit remains the same (possibly 16-18 gauge, depending on the length of the run).

Reviewer: Jon from Ohio  
Just what I need to repair the heater on my rain collector.  Now all  I need is good

5 of 5 Nice heater September 25, 2017
Reviewer: David Potter from Roanoke, VA United States  
This accessory is a heater that can melt frozen precipitation in some Davis weather stations to give a rain equivalent of that frozen precipitation.  The Davis instructions were clear.
