Troubleshooting

When dealing with wireless catch monitoring sensors you may experience some bad
readings, or no readings at all. There are some checkings you can do before calling
the support department.

To do some of these tests you may need:

• One or several PX MultiSensor Chargers

• PX Configurator cable

• Multimeter

• A computer with the TV80 program installed.
