Problem

 

Solution

 

Wireless remote not reporting in to 
console. 
 
There are dashes (--.-) on the display 
console. 

If any of the sensor communication is lost, dashes (--.-) will 
be displayed on the screen. To reacquire the signal, press 
and hold the 

C

 button for 3 seconds, and the 

remote search icon 

 will be constantly displayed. Once 

the signal is reacquired, the remote search icon 

 will 

turn off, and the current values will be displayed. 
 
The maximum line of sight communication range is 100 
m and 30 m under most conditions. Move the sensor 
assembly closer to the display console. 
 
If the sensor assembly is too close (less than 1.5m), move 
the sensor assembly away from the display console. 
 
Make sure the remote sensor LCD display is working and 
the transmitter light is flashing once per 60 seconds.

 

 
Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote thermo-
hygrometer. For cold weather environments, install 
lithium batteries.

 

 
Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting 
through solid metal (acts as an RF shield), or earth barrier 
(down a hill). 
 
Move the display console around electrical noise 
generating devices, such as computers, TVs and other 
wireless transmitters or receivers. 
 
Move the remote sensor to a higher location. Move the 
remote sensor to a closer location. 

Indoor and Outdoor Temperature do not 
agree 

Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to 
signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor temperature 
sensors should agree within 2 °C (the sensor accuracy is ± 
1 °C). 
 
Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and 
outdoor temperature to a known source. 

Indoor and Outdoor Humidity do not agree  Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to 

signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor humidity sensors 
should agree within 10 % (the sensor accuracy is ± 5 %). 
 
Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and 
outdoor humidity to a known source. 

Display console contrast is weak 

Replace console batteries with a fresh set of batteries.
