8. TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Challenge: Reader cannot find the sensor when
attempting to assign it.
Actions: Ensure sensor is attached to a metal
surface. Check if the sensor is less than 10
cm away from other sensors, and increase
the separation if so. Ensure that reader
antenna is folded down and that the antenna
surface is facing the sensor. Move the reader
closer to the sensor.
Challenge: Multiple sensors are found when at-
tempting to assign a sensor.
Actions: Cover all nearby sensors, other than
the one to be assigned, with a layer of alumi-
num foil or your hand. Optionally, install and
assign sensors one at a time.
Challenge: Sensor does not report temperature,
or is slow in reporting temperature.
Actions: See the actions for difficulty reading
a sensor during assignment. Check the MAX
POWER setting, and try setting to zero. Zero
is the no-attenuation full power setting.
Avoid moving the reader around too quickly
when reading sensors.
Challenge: SENSOR FILE updates are not active.
Actions: New SENSOR FILE settings will not
be active until the program has been re-
started. Please remove the reader from the
cradle and restart the program.
