Testing Reception

 

1. Move dip switch #4 on the receiver to the position opposite its starting position.

 

The setting for Test Mode is always the opposite of wherever the dip switch 
was set when power is applied to the console. 

In Test Mode, the console will beep whenever it receives data from the trans-
mitter (approximately every 2.5 seconds). If the two units are in range you 
should hear a beep about every 2.5 seconds. If not, try moving the console 
closer to the transmitter.

 

2. Check all of the readings on your display to be sure they appear normally (i.e., not 

“dashed out”).

 

Consult your station manual for instructions on displaying the various read-
ings. Spin the wind cups and move the wind vane to verify wind speed/
direction readings. Note that some readings must be calibrated in order to 
read correctly; calibration instructions are contained in the station manual.

If problems occur reading the outdoor sensors, consult the troubleshooting 
guide at the end of this manual. If the inside temperature, inside humidity, 
or barometer are not working properly, consult the station manual for trou-
bleshooting.

 

3. Once finished testing, return dip switch #4 on the transmitter and receiver to their 

original settings.

 

This will deactivate Test Mode; the LED Indicator on the transmitter should 
stop flashing.  On the receiver, position dip switch #4 to Silent Mode on or 
off, as desired, and remove and reapply power to the console.

 

Note:

 

Leaving the transmitter in Test Mode will cause the LED indicator to flash unnecessarily and 

 

thus drain additional and nonessential power from your power supply.
