My first thought is always to check that my
are good. If it has been working
and now is not, low batteries are the most common connection problem.

distance, resistance and interference
. If everything was working
previously at the same location, this is likely not the issue. However sometimes there is
new growth on trees or bushes that causing another barrier. Radio Frequency (RF)
signal does not travel well through foliage due to the moisture content.
•
Occasionally adding a new wireless electronic device to the home will cross the signal
path for the sensor. If this occurs try moving your station a few feet or turning the
station 90 degrees for a better angle to receive the sensor signal.
•
When you have good batteries, and good location, hold the SENSOR button for three
seconds to search for your sensors. If you regain connection while the sensor is
mounted, great. If you do not regain connection, bring the sensor within 10 feet of the
station and search again.
WHY DON’T MY TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY READINGS
MATCH THE WEATHER REPORT?
•
Your temperature and humidity readings are from you sensor at your location. Your
local reporting station can be miles away so readings will differ.
TEMP ACCURACY: WHY DOES MY THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR READ
INACCURATELY?
•
The thermo-hygro sensor reads the environment. If your sensor reads high during the
day but not at night it is a mounting problem.
•
Press and release the SENSOR button to view the thermo-hygro sensor ID number.
Compare to the barcode on your sensor to be sure they match.
•
Side-by-side test: Bring the thermo-hygro sensor in the house and place it next to
your station for 2 hours.
•
Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4
degrees to be within tolerance. The humidity should be within 14% to be within
tolerance.
•
If the sensor reads correctly when next to your station then try a different location
outside.
•
Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected heat that
may cause inaccurate readings.
•
If your temperature is reading low, and location is not an issue, you may have a bad
sensor.
WHAT DOES A READING OF “HI” OR “LO” MEAN?
•
If your outdoor temperature reading shows “HI” or “LO”, check that your
good.
•
Overpower or underpowered batteries can cause this reading.
•
If batteries are good, replace the outdoor sensor.
•
If your temperature is fine but your humidity is reading “HI” or “LO” or dashes, your
humidity may be below 10% Relative Humidity. Your sensor does not read below 10%
humidity.
