WIND SPEED IS INACCURATE
Check the unit of measure (MPH, KM/H or M/S).
Check to see if the Wind speed station receives the same repetitive wind speed recording
from the sensor multiple times.
Confirm the direction is working correctly.
Check that the cups turn freely.
Check for obstructions that prevent clear wind flow to the cups.
Check mounting. In most cases, the wind sensor needs to be 6 feet or more above the highest
point on the roof in order to clear nearby obstructions and read accurately. A 50-foot
clearance in all directions is best.
It is helpful to send pictures of the sensor mounting, if you need to contact customer support.
Check that your batteries are fresh in the thermo-hygro sensor and the Wind speed station.
UNDERSTANDING WIND READINGS
Current Wind Speed:
The current wind speed, which represents the highest speed in the past 30 seconds. This should
correspond to the wind graph.
Top Wind Speed:
Highest recorded wind speed in time interval. Default is 1 hour, controlled by the
Wind History feature, details below.
Wind Speed History:
Press and release the WIND button to view the maximum wind history values.
• One Hour: past 60 minute period (default Top Speed record, already shown)
• 24-hour: Past 24-hour period, from last record
• 7 Days: Past 7-day period, from last record
• Month: Defined by Calendar Month i.e. January 1 - January 31
• Year: Defined by Calendar Year i.e. January 1 - December 31
Note:
After 5 seconds, all readings default back to the 1-hour top wind speed.
Wind Speed Graph:
The wind speed graph with sections based on current wind speed.
One segment will flash indicating current wind speed.
Feels Like Temperature:
Wind Speed | Temperature | Humidity combined:
• When outdoor temp is higher than 80˚F, displays heat index
• When outdoor temp is lower than 50˚F, displays wind chill
• When outside of the above ranges will display current outdoor temperature.
RESET WIND SPEED HISTORY
• Press the WIND button to view individual wind speed readings.
• Hold the MINUS button for five seconds to reset
