Replacement Davis Vantage Vue wind speed cartridge suitable for all revisions of the weather station.
Simple replacement, requiring a Philips screw driver and the Davis allen key to remove the wind cups prior to installation.
How to install
- Move the Vue sensor suite to a safe working level if necessary noting its orientation before removal.
- Locate the hex bolt on the side of the existing wind cups, unless these are missing, and loosen. There is no need to fully remove the hex bolt.
- Pull the cups straight up to remove.
- Turn the sensor suite over and remove the six large silver screws to remove the white top section which is where the bearing is housed.
- Remove the two small screws holding the existing bearing in place. Which will easily be removed.
- Insert the new cartridge into place between the locating lugs and screw into place without over tightening the screws.
- Replace the top white cover and screw in place with the six screws, again do no over tighten into the plastic.
- Pushed the wind cups onto the shaft. There is no correct orientation.
- Tighten the wind cups using the hex bolt on the side until this grips the metal shaft. A gentle pull up will ensure they are secure.
- Test by spinning and checking a reading registers.
- Return the sensor suite to its original location and orientation.
If you have lost your Allen key to remove the hex bolt, these are available as a spare item.

Great service from Weather Spares as always and great after sales service too. These wind speed cartridges are easy to change (as are all the individual `units` on this weather station) so I am now back up and running with accurate wind speeds again. Many thanks to the weather spares team. Have bought from Weather Spares before and they are my `go to` online shop for spares.
We appreciate your review and agree that this is a very simple replacement to get the wind speed readings back on the Vue. Please do let us know if you have any other questions or requirements, we're happy to help you.
exactly as described. Did not realise after around 10 years, I was not getting accurate windspeed readings, always being lower than expected.
very easy to change out with a few screws. Used the opportunity to clean up the rain collector. I recommend Weather Spares for their speedy delivery service.
