Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Solution
Inaccurate
temperature or
humidity
• Make sure both the display unit and sensor are
placed away from heat sources or vents (see p.11).
• Make sure both units are positioned away from
moisture sources (see p.11).
• Make sure sensor is mounted at least 5 ft off the
ground.
• Calibrate indoor and outdoor temperature and
humidity (see p.17).
No rainfall
• Verify the rain gauge stabilizer (plastic tab) has been
removed from the bottom of the sensor (see p.7).
• Clear debris, such as leaves, out of the rain collector
funnel and debris screen.
• Calibrate the Rain Gauge (see p.18).
• Verify the sensor’s internal tipping lever is moving
freely by dripping a little water through the rain
collector. You should hear the lever tipping. If you do
not hear it, you may need to clean inside the sensor.

Inaccurate wind
readings
• What is wind reading being compared to? Pro
weather stations are typically mounted at 30 ft high
or more. Make sure to compare data using a sensor
positioned at the same mounting height.
• Check location of the sensor. Ensure it’s mounted a
minimum of 5 ft in the air with no obstructions around
it (within several feet).
•Ensure wind cups are spinning freely. If they hesitate
or stop try lubricating with graphite powder or spray
lubricant.
Display screen
not working
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
Batteries may need to be replaced.
• Reset the display by pressing the reset button, located
on the back of the display unit. Date and time will
need to be entered after a reset.
