Troubleshooting
Sensor Functions Intermittently
Carefully check all connections from the sensor to the ISS. See “Check the Factory
Installed Sensor Connections” on page 7.
Loose connections account for a large portion of potential problems. Connections
should be firmly seated in receptacles and plugged in straight. To check for a faulty
connection, try jiggling the cable while looking at the display. If a reading displays
intermittently on the console as the cable is jiggled, the connection is faulty. Try
removing and then re-installing the cable to correct the faulty connection. If the
sensor still functions intermittently contact Technical Support. See “Contacting
Technical Support” on page 39.
Readings Are Not What You Expect
Comparing data from your ISS to measurements from the Internet, TV, radio,
newspapers, or a neighbor is NOT a valid method of verifying your readings.
Readings can vary considerably over short distances. How you site the ISS and
anemometer can also make a big difference. If you have questions, contact Technical
Support on page 39.
Rain Collector Problem
If the rain collector seems to be under-reporting rainfall, remove the rain collector
cone to clean the tipping spoon and clear out any debris. Make sure the cable tie
around the tipping spoons has been cut and removed.
