Troubleshooting

While your anemometer is designed to provide years of trouble-free operation, 
occasionally problems may arise. 
If the recommendations below do not solve the problem, please call Davis 
Technical Support for further instructions.

Wind speed reads 0 all the time or intermittently or wind direction reading is dashed 
out.

• Make sure anemometer is plugged into the jack marked WIND on junction 

box.

• Check to make sure the battery is connected.
• Check for broken wire along length of anemometer cable. Carefully check 

areas where the cable has been secured.

• The battery may need to be replaced. Contact Davis Technical Support.
• If you still do not get a reading, the problem is with the anemometer. 

Contact Davis Technical Support for return authorization. 

Wind speed reading seems too high or too low. 

• Check for any obstructions blocking the wind near the anemometer.

Can I calibrate my anemometer?

No, the sonic anemometer cannot be calibrated. If you verify that the data is 
not accurate, the most likely cause is location.
