TEMP ACCURACY: WHY DOES MY THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR READ 

INACCURATELY? 

 

 

The thermo-hygro sensor reads the environment. Since your Temperature/Humidity 

readings come from the Wind/TH sensor they may occasionally be inaccurate if the sunlight 

hits the sensor. 

 

If this is a common occurrence you can purchase a TX141TH-Bv3 sensor and replace the 

Temperature/Humidity Reading from the Wind/TH sensor. 

 

HOW TO REPLACE THE TH READING FROM THE WIND TH SENSOR?

 

The new Wind Speed, Wind Direction Sensor with Temperature/Humidity may cause inaccurate 

temperature readings in some locations. Because of this, you have the option to remove the TH 

sensor reading (from the TX145WSDTHv3) and adding an additional TH sensor to read in the 

OUTDOOR area of the display. 

1.

 

From normal time display; Press the MINUS button - Outdoor Temp/Humidity will flash. 

2.

 

Hold the MINUS button 5 seconds to delete Temp Humidity reading only (From WIND/TH or 

TX141TH-Bv3 sensor). Station will search for Temp Humidity reading (from any sensor). 

Hold the TEMP button to search for TH reading (from any sensor) as well. 

3.

 

Press TX button on the add-on sensor to force a signal. 

 

However, please take note that if the Display could not receive signal from TX141THB-v3 in the 3 

mins, the Display will accept the Wind/TH sensor as the Outdoor sensor instead. With such, in 

case the user decides to switch back from TX141TH-Bv3 to Wind/TH, there is still a way. 

 

Note: The Outdoor Sensor icon will only show when the Outdoor temperature/humidity reading 

is coming from the add-on TH sensor. Only 1 TH reading can show. 

 

WHAT DOES A READING OF “HI” OR “LO” MEAN? 

 

 

If your outdoor temperature reading shows “HI” or “LO”, check that your 

batteries

 are good. 

 

Overpowered 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. 

 

TEMP INTERMITTANT: 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).
