1. Replace batteries every 1-2 years. If left in too long, the batteries
may leak due to environmental challenges. In harsh
environments, inspect the batteries every 3 months.
2. In snowy environments, spray the top of the weather station with
anti-icing silicon spray to prevent snow build up.
10 Troubleshooting Guide
Problem
Solution
Outdoor sensor array
does not
communicate to the
display console.
The sensor array may have initiated properly and the data
is registered by the console as invalid, and the console
must be reset. Press the reset button as described in
Section 4.2.
With an open ended paperclip, press the reset button for 3
seconds to re-sync the console with the sensor array about
10 feet away.
The LED next to the battery compartment will flash
every 16 seconds. If the LED is not flashing every 16
seconds…
Replace the batteries in the outside sensor array.
If the batteries were recently replaced, check the polarity.
If the sensor is flashing every 16 seconds, proceed to the
next step.
There may be a temporary loss of communication due to
reception loss related to interference or other location
factors, or the batteries may have been changed in the
sensor array and the console has not been reset. The
solution may be as simple as powering down and up the
console (remove AC power and batteries, wait 10
seconds, and reinsert AC power and batteries).
