TEMP ACCURACY: WHY DOES MY TEMPERATURE SENSOR READ INCCURATELY?
•
The temperature sensor reads the environment. If your sensor reads high during the day but
•
Side-by-side test: Bring the temperature sensor in the house and place it next to your clock
for 2 hours.
•
Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4 degrees to
be within tolerance.
•
If the sensor reads correctly when next to your clock 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 “HHH OR LLL” MEAN?
•
If your outdoor temperature reading shows “HHH or LLL”, check that your
good.
•
Overpower or underpowered batteries can cause this reading.
•
If batteries are good, replace the outdoor sensor.
TEMP INTERMITTANT: WHY DOES MY TEMPERATURE 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 clocks 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 your clock for any reason, your clock will show dashes after 30
minutes.
•
Your clock will search for 5 minutes every hour to reconnect with sensor.
•
Try this:
•
Bring your sensor within 10 feet of your clock and make sure it is connected to your clock.
•
After 15 minutes move the sensor into the next room with a wall between the sensor and
your clock 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
