WHY DON’T MY TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY READINGS

                                                    

ON MY STATION MATCH THE WEATHER REPORT? 

 

 

Your temperature and humidity readings are from you sensor at your location. Your local 
reporting station can be miles away so readings will differ. 
 

TEMP ACCURACY: WHY DOES MY THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR

 

READ 

INCCURATELY? 

 

 

The thermo-hygro sensor reads the environment. If your sensor reads high during the day 
but not at night it is a 

mounting

 problem. 

 

Side-by-side test

: Bring the thermo-hygro sensor in the house and place it next to your 

station for 2 hours.  

 

Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4 degrees to 
be within tolerance. The humidity should be within 14% to be within tolerance.  

 

If the sensor reads correctly when next to your station then try a different location outside.  

 

Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected heat that may 
cause inaccurate readings. 

 

If your temperature is reading low, and location is not an issue, you may have a bad sensor. 
 

WHAT DOES A READING OF “HI” OR “LO” MEAN? 

 

 

If your outdoor temperature reading shows “HI” or “LO”, check that your 

batteries

 are good. 

 

Overpower or underpowered batteries can cause this reading. 

 

If batteries are good, replace the outdoor sensor. 

 

If your temperature is fine but your humidity is reading “HI” or “LO” or dashes, your humidity 
may be below 10% Relative Humidity.  Your sensor does not read below 10% humidity. 

TEMPERATURE INTERMITTANT: WHY DOES MY TEMP/HUMIDITY

 

READING 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).
