Problem
Solution
Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting through solid metal (acts
as an RF shield), or earth barrier (down a hill).
Radio Frequency (RF) Sensors cannot transmit through metal barriers
(example, aluminum siding) or multiple, thick walls.
Move the OBSERVERIP2.0 receiver around electrical noise generating
devices, such as computers, TVs and other wireless transmitters or receivers.
Outdoor sensor array
does not communicate
to the
OBSERVERIP2.0
Receiver.
The sensor array may have initiated properly, and the data is registered by
the OBSERVERIP2.0 receiver as invalid, and the sensory array must be
reset. The reset button is
next to the LED
, near the mounting point on the
sensor array.
With an open-ended paperclip, press the reset button for 3 seconds to
completely discharge the voltage.
Take out the batteries and wait one minute, while covering the solar panel to
drain the voltage.
Put batteries back in and resync with OBSERVERIP2.0 receiver by
powering down and up the OBSERVERIP2.0 receiver with the sensor array
about 10 feet away.
Bring the sensor array inside the house (you can disconnect it from the rest
of the sensors). 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. Non-rechargeable batteries
are OK for testing purposes.
If the batteries were recently replaced, check the polarity. If the sensor is
flashing every 48 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
OBSERVERIP2.0 receiver has not been reset. The solution may be as simple
as
powering down and up the OBSERVERIP2.0
.
Replace the batteries in the outside sensor array. Non-rechargeable batteries
are OK for testing purposes.
With the sensor array and
OBSERVERIP2.0
10 feet away from each other,
remove AC power from the OBSERVERIP2.0 receiver and wait 10 seconds.
Re-connect power.
Absolute pressure

official reporting
station
You may be viewing the relative pressure, not the absolute pressure.
Select the absolute pressure. Make sure you properly calibrate the sensor to
an official local weather station. Reference Section 2.10 for details.
