When the sensor is connected, the Reception Icon will flash once when new signal is
received.
•
If your outdoor sensor is unable to reconnect on its own, a reset of your station may be
necessary. Use a paper clip to press the RST button on the back of the station.
.
WHY DOES MY TEMP/HUMIDITY READING COME AND GO?
•
RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally. This can be normal in
some environments (e.g., moister climates).
•
If a sensor goes out, please wait 2-4 hours for it to reconnect on its own. Please be patient –
these stations can reconnect on, after many hours out.
•
RF (radio frequency) communication is not always 100% on. Certain temporary conditions
can cause it to go out for a time (e.g., 100% humidity).
If a miss happens:
•
If sensor loses connection to the station for any reason, the station will show NO after 30
minutes.
•
The station will search for 5 minutes every hour to reconnect with sensor.
•
. Manually search for your sensor.
Try this:
•
Bring your sensor within 10 feet of your station and make sure it is connected to the station.
•
After 15 minutes move the sensor into the next room with a wall between the sensor and the
station for 1 hour.
•
If there is no loss of signal in that hour, move the sensor just outside.
•
Continue moving the sensor back to its original location.
•
If you lose connection, look for sources of
WHAT IS DISTANCE | RESISTANCE | INTERFERENCE?
Distance:
•
The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 197 feet (60 meters) between each
sensor and your station.
•
Consider the signal path from your station to each sensor as a straight line.
•
Consider the distance the station is from other electronics in the home.
Resistance:
•
Each obstacle: walls, windows, vegetation, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects will
reduce the effective signal range by about one-half.
•
Mounting your sensors on a metal fence can significantly reduce the effective signal range.
Interference:
•
Consider electronics in the signal path between the sensors and your station.
