WHY ARE MY WIND CUPS NOT SPINNING?
•
Check for debris or ice preventing cups from moving.
•
Check mounting location. Look for obstructions that prevent the wind from reaching the
sensor.
•
In most cases, the wind sensor needs to be 4-6ft above the highest point on the roof in
order to clear nearby obstructions and read accurately.
•
A 50-foot clearance in all directions is best.
•
Push down firmly on the center of the cups to reseat them.
•
Cups are replaceable.
CAN I REPLACE MY WIND CUPS?
Occasionally, a bad storm with hail or debris that will damage your wind cups. These are easily

Remove cups
3.
Install new cups
4.

Check that the cups spin freely. Something may be preventing movement.

Are your wind cups unbroken? After a storm it is good to check this.
WIND DASHES: WHY ARE THERE DASHES FOR WIND READINGS?
Dashes indicate the connection is lost between your station and the wind sensor.

My first thought is always to check that my
are good. If it has been working and
now is not, low batteries are the most common connection problem.

distance, resistance and interference
. If everything was working previously
at the same location, this is likely not the issue. However sometimes there is new growth on
trees or bushes that cause another barrier. Radio Frequency (RF) signal does not travel well
through foliage due to the moisture content.
