Problem

Solution

Wireless
remote
(thermometer)
not reporting
in to console.

There are
dashes (--.-)
on the display
console.

If any of the sensor communication is lost,
dashes (--.-) will be displayed on the screen.
To reacquire the signal, press and hold the

button for 3 seconds, and the

remote search icon will be constantly
displayed. Once the signal is reacquired, the
remote search icon will turn off, and the
current values will be displayed.

The maximum line of sight communication
range is 300' and 100' under most
conditions. Move the sensor assembly
closer to the display console.

If the sensor assembly is too close (less
than 5'), move the sensor assembly away
from the display console.

Make sure the remote sensor LCD display
is working and the transmitter light is
flashing once per 60 seconds.

Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote
thermometer. For cold weather
environments, install lithium batteries.

Make sure the remote sensors are not
transmitting through solid metal (acts as an
RF shield), or earth barrier (down a hill).
