The units try for 20 minutes to reconnect. After 20 minutes, the sensor stops 

trying for an hour (to preserve battery life). After the 1-hour break, the sensor 

will start another 20-minute re-connect cycle.  

 

Distance/Resistance

 can cause loss of sensor signal. Avoid having more than 

one wall, window, tree etc., between the display and the sensor. UV coated 

windows may actually reflect the signal. Stucco walls will absorb the signal. 

 

Check

 batteries

. This is our primary warranty issue. 

 

SENSOR DRAINS BATTERIES QUICKLY 

 

 

Test a new set of alkaline batteries. Write down the date of installation and the 

voltage of the batteries. 

 

When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again. This is helpful in 

determining the problem. 

 

Check the distance and resistance between the sensor and Wind speed station. 

Sensors at the end of the range may work while batteries are fresh but not after 

they drain a bit. 

 

Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the sensor. 

 

HUMIDITY SHOWS OFL BUT TEMPERATURE WORKS 

 

 

The humidity low range is 10% RH.  If your local humidity is below 10%, you 

will see this reading. 

 

Complete a restart with fresh batteries. 

 

Replace the sensor. 

 

FAHRENHEIT/CELSIUS 

 

 

Enter the program menu to select in Fahrenheit (ºF) or Celsius (ºC).  

 

HI | LO TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY RECORDS 

 

Press and release the TEMP button to view HI/LO, temperature and humidity 

readings with time/date stamp. Press and release TEMP again to view the next 

value.
