Vantage Pro2 stations are available in two basic versions: Cabled and
Wireless. A Cabled Vantage Pro2 station transmits outside sensor data
from the Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) to the console using a straight-
through four-conductor cable. A Wireless Vantage Pro2 station transmits
outside sensor data from the ISS to the console via a low-power radio.
Wireless stations can also collect data from the optional Vantage Pro2 sen-
sors. See “Optional Sensors” on page 2.
