It may be helpful to orient the weather 90 degrees towards the sensor for better 

reception.  

 

Sensor operate best when elevated at least 6 feet. 

 

Remove the batteries from the sensor for 2 minutes. Replace the batteries in the 

Thermohygro sensor and hold the SEARCH button for five seconds. Wait 10 minutes. If 

the unit does not receive a reading from the sensor, please try the factory reset. 

 

INACCURATE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY  

 

 

The thermo-hygro sensor reads the environment. When the sensor reads high during 

the day but not at night it is a mounting problem. 

 

Side-by-side test: Bring the thermo-hygro sensor in the house and place it next to the 

weather station for 2 hours.  

 

Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4 

degrees to be within tolerance. The humidity should be within 14% to be within 

tolerance.  

 

If the sensor reads correctly when next to your weather station then try a different 

location outside.  

 

Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected heat. 

 

OUTDOOR READINGS ARE STUCK OR SHOW HI OR LO 

 

 

Check batteries. Overpowered or underpowered batteries can cause this reading. 

 

Replace sensor. 

 

INTERMITTENT SENSOR READINGS 

 

 

RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally.  This can be 

normal in some environments (e.g. moister climates).   

 

If a sensor goes out, please wait 2-4 hours for it to reconnect on its own.  Please be 

patience – these stations can reconnect on, after many hours out. 

 

RF (radio frequency) communication is not always 100% on.  

 

Certain temporary conditions can cause it to go out for a time (e.g. 100% humidity).  

 

IF the signal is lost, the RX will display the LAST DATA recorded from sensor for 10 

minutes. 

 

After that 10 minutes if the signal does not come back then display dashes "--".   

 

After 30 minutes, start looking for the RF signals automatically. 

 

If a miss happens: 

 

Hold the SEARCH button for 5 seconds to search for sensor. 

 

Distance/Resistance

 can cause loss of sensor signal. Avoid having more than one wall, 

window, tree etc., between the display and the sensor. UV coated windows may 

actually reflect the signal. Stucco walls will absorb the signal. 

 

Check

 batteries

. This is our primary warranty issue. 

SENSOR DRAINS BATTERIES QUICKLY 

 

 

Test a new set of alkaline batteries. Write down the date of installation and the voltage 

of the batteries.
