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 wind/thermo-hygro sensor in the house and place 

it next to the 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 the wind speed station then try a 

different location outside.  

 

Look for heat sources such as sunlight or reflected heat. 

 

OUTDOOR READINGS ARE STUCK OR OFL 

 

 

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 a miss happens: 

 

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

 

The units try for 20 minutes to reconnect. After 20 minutes, the sensor stops 

trying for an hour (to preserve battery life). After the 1-hour break, the sensor 

will start another 20-minute re-connect cycle.  

 

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. 

 

When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again. This is helpful in 

determining the problem. 

 

Check the distance and resistance between the sensor and station. Sensors at 

the end of the range may work while batteries are fresh but not after they drain 

a bit. 

 

Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the sensor.
