trees or bushes that cause another barrier. Radio Frequency (RF) signal does not travel well
through foliage due to the moisture content.
•
Occasionally adding a new wireless electronic device to the home will cross the signal path
for the sensor. If this occurs, try moving your station a few feet or turning the station 90
degrees for a better angle to receive the sensor signal.
•
Press the SENSOR button until you see your sensor ID. Hold the PLUS (+) button for 3
seconds and your station will search for your individual sensor.
•
If you regain connection while the sensor is mounted, great. If you do not regain
connection, bring the sensor within 10 feet of the station and search again.
HOW DO I CHARGE THE WIND SENSOR?
Your sensor comes fully charged. Be sure to remove the Isolation Tab from the battery and
move the ON/OFF switch to ON.
If your sensor is not receiving full sunlight on the solar panel for several days, the signal may
weaken or fail.
To recharge the battery:
1.
Place wind sensor with solar panel in the full sun.
2.
Is signal is dashes, turn sensor OFF for 24 hours to allow the battery to charge.
3.
After 24 hours turn sensor on and allow 10 minutes to reconnect to station.
4.
If possible, place sensor in an area where the solar panel can receive full sun.
WIND AND TEMP INTERMITTANT: WHY DO MY READINGS 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 stations 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).
•
Check that your sensor is receiving full sun on the solar panel.
If a miss happens:
•
If your wind sensor loses connection to the station for any reason, the station will show
dashes after 30 minutes.
•
The station will search for 5 minutes every hour to reconnect with wind sensor.
Try this:
•
Bring your wind sensor within 10 feet of your station and make sure it is connected to the
station.
•
After 15 minutes move the wind sensor into the next room with a wall between the sensor
and the station for 1 hour.
•
If there is no loss of signal in that hour, move the wind sensor just outside.
