Note: The screw in the wind cups will fit on the flat side of the metal stem on the
sensor.
WIND SPEED IS 0.00
Check that the wind cups attach to the sensor. Occasionally they can come off.
Check that the cups seat properly by pushing on the center of the cups.
Check that the cups spin freely.
WIND SPEED IS INACCURATE
Check the unit of measure (MPH, KM/H or M/S).
Check to see if the Wind speed station receives the same repetitive wind speed
recording from the sensor multiple times.
Confirm the direction is working correctly.
Check that the cups turn freely.
Check for obstructions that prevent clear wind flow to the cups.
Check mounting. In most cases, the wind sensor needs to be 6 feet or more
above the highest point on the roof in order to clear nearby obstructions and
read accurately. A 50-foot clearance in all directions is best.
It is helpful to send pictures of the sensor mounting, if you need to contact
customer support.
Check that your batteries are fresh in the thermo-hygro sensor and the Wind
speed station.
UNDERSTANDING WIND READINGS
Current Wind Speed:
The current wind speed, which represents the highest speed in the past 30 seconds. This
should correspond to the wind graph.
Top Wind Speed: Highest recorded wind speed in time interval. Default is 1 hour,
controlled by the
Wind History feature, details below.
Wind Speed History:
Press and release the WIND button to view the maximum wind history values.
• One Hour: past 60 minute period (default Top Speed record, already shown)
• 24-hour: Past 24-hour period, from last record
• 7 Days: Past 7-day period, from last record
• Month: Defined by Calendar Month i.e. January 1 - January 31
• Year: Defined by Calendar Year i.e. January 1 - December 31
Note: After 5 seconds, all readings default back to the 1-hour top wind speed.
Wind Speed Graph:
The wind speed graph with sections based on current wind speed.
One segment will flash indicating current wind speed.
Feels Like Temperature:
Wind Speed | Temperature | Humidity combined:
• When outdoor temp is higher than 80˚F, displays heat index
