2-C batteries power the thermo-hygro sensor
2-AA batteries for the rain sensor
We recommend Alkaline
batteries
for the sensors.
100% solar-powered (built-in power cell, no batteries necessary) for wind sensor
3-C batteries for the weather station
Compatible outdoor sensors
TX59UN-1-IT Thermo-hygro
TX63U-IT Wind
TX58UN-IT Rain
The above 915MHz sensors will read to this weather station.
Dashes shown for outdoor temperature/humidity
Dashes means the connection is lost between the weather station and the outdoor sensor.
Batteries
often resolve the connection.
Distance/Resistance
can cause loss of connection between the sensor and the weather station.
Reorientation of the weather station 90 degrees towards the thermo-hygro sensor may provide better
reception by the antenna.
Remove the batteries from the thermo-hygro sensor for two minutes. Replace the batteries in the
thermo-hygro sensor and after 5 minutes hold the UP ARROW on the weather station until it beeps.
Wait 10 minutes. If the weather station does not receive a reading from all the sensors, please try the
factory reset.
Try the
quick connect
or complete a
factory restart
.
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 the weather station then try a different location outside.
Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected heat.
Outdoor temperature/humidity is stuck or OFL
Check
batteries
. Overpowered or underpowered batteries can cause this reading.
Replace outdoor sensor.
Intermittent outdoor temperature/humidity
RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally. This can be normal in some
environments (e.g. moister climates). If sensor signal is lost, please wait 2-4 hours for the signal to
reconnect on its own.
Move the remote sensors to a location closer to the weather station.
Indoor distance test: Please complete the
factory restart
with sensors and weather station 5-10 feet
apart and inside to establish a strong connection.
If there is a reading in the outdoor temperature area after 15 minutes, move the sensor to another
room with one wall between the sensor and the weather station. Observe to see if the remote
readings remain on consistently for 1 hour.
If the remote reading remains on while in the house then it is likely a
distance/resistance
issue.
Move the sensor to different locations outside to find a location where the remote readings will hold.
Distance/Resistance
can cause loss of sensor signal.
