Problem

 

Solution

 

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

If  any  of  the  sensor  communication  is  lost,  dashes  (--.-) 
will  be  displayed  on  the  screen.  To  reacquire  the  signal, 
press  and  hold  the 

CH/+

  button  for  3  seconds,  and  the 

remote  search  icon 

  will  be  constantly  displayed. 

Once the signal is reacquired, the remote search icon 

 

will turn off, and the current values will be displayed. 
 
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 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 
thermo-hygrometer. 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). 
 
Move the display console around electrical noise 
generating devices, such as computers, TVs and other 
wireless transmitters or receivers.

 

 
Move the remote sensor to a higher location. Move the 
remote sensor to a closer location. 

Temperature sensor reads too high in the 
day time. 

Make sure the thermo-hygrometer is mounted in a shaded 
area on the north facing wall. Consider the following 
radiation shield if this is not possible:
