Check that the wind sensor is receiving plenty of sunlight. Bring it in and
place under a lamp for 24-hours if needed.
Distance/Resistance
can cause loss of sensor signal.
Try relocating the Wind sensor closer to the Thermohygro sensor. Ideally the
Wind and TH sensor should be on the same side of the building and in line-
of-sight of each other.
Mounting on a metal or white PVC pole may cause RF interference or static.
Watch if there are certain times of the day or night that the unit loses
signal. Details are helpful in resolving the problem.
TRY THIS FIRST:
Cover the solar panel of the Wind sensor for 15 seconds while gently
pressing the reset button on the bottom of the Wind sensor. This should
assure the wind sensor is turned off.
Remove the batteries from the Thermohygro and Rain sensors for 2 minutes.
After 2 minutes replace the batteries in the Thermohygro and Rain sensors.
Gently press the reset button on the bottom of the Wind sensor, with the
solar panel exposed to light.
After 3 minutes press and hold the UP ARROW on the display until it beeps.
Wait 10 minutes. If you do not receive a reading from all your sensors
please try the
factory reset
.
NOTE:
It can take
several tries to get the Wind and the Rain to connect.
Please install
batteries in the Rain and Thermohygro sensors , then key the Wind sensor and
allow all
sensors to operate in line-of sight of each other for 2 minutes before
powering up the display.
WIND READING IS BLANK
Check that other areas of the display read properly. If other areas also fail, you
may have a problem with the Display.
WIND SENSOR SHOWS OFL (OUTSIDE FACTORY LIMITS)
Place the wind sensor under a light source for 24-hours.
Note if there are certain times of the day or night this occurs.
Check the solar panel for damage of breakdown.
WIND SPEED IS INACCURATE
Check the unit of measure (MPH, KMH, or M/S).
How far away is the recording station used to compare wind speed? Wind
speed can be different in just a few feet.
