Problem 

Solution 

Wireless remote not reporting in to 
console. 
 
There are dashes (--.-) on the display 
console. 

The maximum line of sight communication range is 150’ 
and 100’ under most conditions. Move the sensor closer 
to the display console. 
 
If the sensor assembly is too close (less than 5’), move 
the sensor assembly away from the display console. 
 
Make sure the remote sensor LCD display is working 
and the transmitter light is flashing once per 60 seconds. 
 
Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote thermometer. 
For cold water environments, install lithium batteries. 
 
Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting 
through solid metal (acts as an RF shield), or earth 
barrier (down a hill). 
 
Move the display console around electrical noise 
generating devices, such as computers, TVs and other 
wireless transmitters or receivers. 

LCD display fading or unreadable. 

Replace batteries in the thermometer. 
 
Extreme heat or cold will cause the display to fade but 
does not affect the wireless functionality. Bring into 
house to restore display.
