ROUBLESHOOTING

 

While the Wireless Weather Station is designed to provide years of trouble-free 
operation, occasional problems may arise.  If you experience a problem, please 
check the troubleshooters listed below before calling the factory.  If you still are  
unable to solve the problem, call the factory at (510) 732-7814 for assistance.  
Please do not return your unit for repair without prior authorization.

 

 

Console is receiving erratic data

 

Enable the Test Mode on the transmitter.  If two beeps or more are heard in 

a 2.5-second interval, then another Davis wireless system may be operating 
nearby on the same ID, or a cordless phone may be operating within 10 feet 
of the receiver.  Either try changing to a different ID code on both the 
receiver and the transmitter, or try moving the phone.  Reapply power to 
the console to activate the new ID code.

 

 

Console is not receiving any data  

 

The transmitter and the receiver may be too far apart, or something in their 

path may be interfering, such as foliage, furnishings or cordless phones.  
Enable Test Mode on the transmitter to see if it is receiving data. Try mov-
ing the receiver closer to the transmitter or vice versa; or eliminating possi-
ble path interferences.

 

 

Console is emitting beeps

 

If you hear 

 

single beeps

 

, flip dip switch #4 to turn off Test Mode in both the 

transmitter and receiver.

If you hear a 

 

double beep

 

, the SensorLink Receiver in the console is not 

receiving data.  This occurs when the receiver has not received data for 30 
minutes.  Try moving the receiver closer to the transmitter or vice versa; or 
eliminating possible path interferences.

If you hear a 

 

triple beep

 

, the transmitter is extremely low on power—replace 

battery immediately.

 

 

Data from the optional WeatherLink program shows temperature, humidity, or wind 

values that were constant over some period

 

The SensorLink Receiver in the console did not receive new data during 

this period and passed the last good data to the WeatherLink.  Try moving 
the receiver closer to the transmitter or vice versa; or eliminating possible 
path interferences.

 

 

Battery(ies) are not lasting the expected 6 months (for 1 battery) or 1 year (for 2 bat-

teries)

 

Make sure dip switch #4 in the transmitter is set to OFF to prevent the LED 

from flashing unnecessarily when not testing.   If you are using two batter-
ies, also make sure that both are fresh when installed.
