Wind speed too high
(190 km to 200 km)
Wind speed to low
Wind speed not accurate
Barometric trend doesn't work
BOTH UNITS MUST BE PLACED IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS TO REDUCE
TRANSMISSION INTERFERNCE.
** NOTE: the radio test is only confirming that the transmitter is sending out
a signal. **
Transmission issues usually cause this to occur from other appliances or
radio waves in the air. If the problem persists, you should consider replacing
the batteries in the transmitter (View Section 6: Powering Up Your HWS)
and possibly moving the location of the transmitter and monitor.
1. This situation can occur because the wind speed transmission is
NOT
REAL TIME
. The wind speed is an average reading of gusts collected
before transmission, therefore if wind gusts happen (every 128 seconds)
to dip below the perceived wind speed over the measuring period, the
average will be reduced, resulting in what appears to be a low reading.
2. Is the anemometer clear of obstructions?
Wind speed & direction can be affected radically by obstructions that
interfere with actual wind. This affect can take place many meters away
from the sensor.
Example: a 40' tree even 50 meters from the sensor on the roof of a house
will disturb enough wind that the unit will never give proper data from
the direction of that tree.
3. Wind speed and directional data will not change if there is
"transmission
interference"
. That means that some of the data transmitted has been
corrupted by other sources emitting waves. This could be anything -
wiring in walls, appliances, other electrical devices operating in proximity
of the monitor or transmitter, or between the two.
4. Freezing rain can cause the wind speed cups to stop moving, thus
constantly displaying 0.0 wind speed. You can attempt to remove the
ice from the wind sensor, but it is strongly advised to wait for milder
weather to do so.
Bring the monitor beside the transmitter and remove all the batteries.
Replace them all (View Section 6: Powering Up Your HWS). Connect the
sensors and observe whether ALL the outdoor readings show up. Check
the timing of updates on the home monitor (outdoor readings should
change every 128 seconds). Then, place the monitor back in the regular
position. Check the timing of updates AGAIN on the receiving unit.
If you notice the updates occur every 128 seconds, there should be no
problem. If the screen has not updated within 5 minutes or no updates
occur there is transmission interference between the receiver and the
transmitter. BOTH UNITS MUST BE PLACED IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS TO
REDUCE TRANSMISSION INTERFERENCE.
