Note: The screw in the wind cups will fit on the flat side of the metal stem on the sensor.
WIND READING 0.00: WHY DO I ONLY SEE 0.00 FOR WIND SPEED?
The 0.00 means your wind sensor is connected to your station.
•
Check that the cups spin freely. Something may be preventing movement.
•
Are your wind cups unbroken? After a storm it is good to check this.
WIND DASHES: WHY ARE THERE DASHES FOR WIND READINGS?
Dashes indicate the connection is lost between your station and the wind sensor.

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 cause 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.
•
Press the SENSOR button until you see your sensor ID. Hold the PLUS (+) button for 3
seconds and your station will search for your individual sensor.
•
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.
HOW DO I CHARGE THE WIND SENSOR?
Your sensor comes fully charged. Be sure to remove the Isolation Tab from the battery and
move the ON/OFF switch to ON.
If your sensor is not receiving full sunlight on the solar panel for several days, the signal may
weaken or fail.
To recharge the battery:
1.
Place wind sensor with solar panel in the full sun.
2.
Is signal is dashes, turn sensor OFF for 24 hours to allow the battery to charge.
3.
After 24 hours turn sensor on and allow 10 minutes to reconnect to station.
4.
If possible, place sensor in an area where the solar panel can receive full sun.
