Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Indoor Temperature and Humidity:
Temperature readings are too high/low
If the indoor temperature readings appear to be high, make sure that the display
console has not been placed in a location where it will be in direct sunlight during
the day. This can cause the plastic casing to heat up which takes some time to
cool down again, which may ultimately result in false readings. If the indoor
temperature readings seem too low, check that the display console has not been
mounted against an interior wall that cools down significantly throughout the day,
as this could be affecting the readings measured. It’s also worth checking that the
console is not in the path of any air-conditioning units or located near an air vent.
Similarly, make sure the outdoor sensor suite is not placed too close to surfaces
that will radiate heat or affect nearby temperatures in a similar manner.
Dew Point:
Dew Point figure appears to be incorrect
Dew point measurements depend upon the outdoor temperature and humidity
figures, so it’s vital to make sure that these readings are correct in order to calculate
the dew point reading. Each of these measurements can be calibrated if required.
Wind:
Wind readings appear to be lower than expected
Wind readings can be significantly affected by the location of the system. Make
sure that there is nothing in the surrounding area that could be shielding the
CM2026 from the effects of the wind as this will reduce the strength of the readings
received. Please remember that mounting the station a few feet higher or lower
can alter the readings considerably.
Wind Chill:
Wind chill figure appears to be incorrect
Wind chill readings are reliant upon the wind speed and outdoor temperature
measurements. If your wind chill readings appear to be inaccurate, please check
these readings and calibrate them slightly if necessary in order to improve the wind
chill calculation.
