Problem 

Solution 

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

The maximum line of sight communication range is 300’ 
and 100’ under most conditions. Move the sensor 
assembly closer to the display console. 
 
If the sensor assembly is too close (less than 10’), move 
the sensor assembly away from the display console. 
 
Reacquire the sensor search mode (reference Section 
6.3). 
 
Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote thermometer. 
For cold weather 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).
