Console Diagnostic Screens
36
The console’s reception status displays at the lower right corner of the screen.
• An “X” flashes for every data packet received by the console.
• An “R” is shown when the console is trying to re-establish a lost connec-
tion.
• An “L” is shown when the signal has been lost.
• When no data packets have been received for 10 minutes, the console
dashes-out any missing sensor readings
Check Console Reception
Enter Setup mode by pressing DONE, then pressing the down arrow. Wait a
few moments while the console lists all the stations transmitting within range.
If the console does not detect your transmitter, check the following:
• Adjust the console and ISS antennas to be in line of sight with each other.
• Reduce the distance between the ISS and the console.
• If the console is directly beneath the ISS, then antennas should be horizon-
tal.
• Try distancing your console from your ISS, at least 10 feet apart.
Check the ISS
Refer to the ISS Installation Manual for instructions on how to check the ISS
for potential transmission problems.
Console Diagnostic Screens
In addition to logging weather data, the console continuously monitors the sta-
tion’s radio reception. You may find this information very helpful, especially
when you are choosing locations for your console and ISS.
Console Diagnostics consists of two screens, the Statistical Diagnostic screen
and the Reception Diagnostic screen. The Statistical Diagnostic screen applies
for both cabled and wireless weather stations. The Reception Diagnostic
screen applies only to wireless weather stations and is not accessible to a
cabled weather station.
Note:
Radio transmission data that is used by the diagnostic screens is cleared each day at
midnight.
Diagnostic Screen Commands
• Press and hold TEMP, then press HUM to display the Statistical Diagnostic
screen.
• Press DONE to exit the diagnostic screen.
• Press the right arrow to display signal statistics for the next installed trans-
mitter ID.
• Press 2ND and then press CHILL to toggle between the Statistical and
Reception Diagnostic screens.
