HARDWARE DISPLAY/SENSOR ISSUES
COMPLETE SYSTEM FACTORY RESET
NOTE: If any of the weather station trouble-shooting steps fail, you may need to
do a full system factory set.
A Factory Reset will erase the connection between the Display and all sensors, to
ensure a fresh connection is established. Place the Wind sensor in the full sun
or under a lamp for 24-hours before you reset to be sure it is
charged.
Have the display and all sensors 5-10 feet apart with nothing in between
for this restart (allow 30 minutes to complete).
SHUT DOWN COMPONENTS:
ENTER DISPLAY PROGRAM MENU: Press and hold the SET button until
you enter the program menu. Press and release the SET button until you see
'rES oFF' flashing.
FACTORY RESET ON: Use the
▲UP ARROW key or ▼DOWN ARROW key to
turn
rES on.
CONFIRM & COUNTDOWN: Press the SET key to confirm and a countdown
timer will begin counting down from 127. When the timer displays
dOnE,
remove the batteries from the display.
REMOVE BATTERIES FROM THERMOHYGRO AND RAIN: While the
batteries are out of the display, also
remove the batteries from the Thermo-
hygro sensor and the Rain sensor.
GENTLY PRESS THE RESET BUTTON ON THE WIND SENSOR: Cover the
solar panel of the Wind sensor for 15 seconds and while covered,
gently press the reset button (use the tool in the little hole) on the bottom of
the Wind sensor. This should ensure the wind sensor is turned off.
Wait 15 minutes
.
POWER UP COMPONENTS:
INSTALL BATTERIES INTO THERMOHYGO AND RAIN: Insert the
batteries into the Thermohygro sensor and Rain sensor. Check polarity with
the markings on the battery cover and inside the battery compartment.
RESTART THE WIND SENSOR: Gently press the reset button on the
bottom of the Wind sensor one time with the solar panel exposed to light in
order to activate the sensor.
ALLOW THE SENSORS TO RUN FOR TWO MINUTES.
INSTALL BATTERIES INTO DISPLAY: After the sensors have run for 2
minutes, insert the batteries into the Display. Check polarity with the
markings inside the battery compartment.
Watch the lower left corner of the
display on start up and record the firmware version of this display (3 digit
number). If you contact support, we may ask for the firmware number.
