WIND DASHES: WHY ARE THERE DASHES FOR WIND READINGS?
In some cases, under long periods of cold and/or dark conditions, the sensor can get stuck in a low
power mode of sorts. To kick it back on, simply remove and reinsert the batteries.
However, if this still does not resolve the problem, please try the following steps:
1.
Be sure to mount the Breeze Pro Sensor level, with the solar panel facing south, and in an open
area to allow for the most sunlight possible.
2.
It can help to search for the sensor again by pressing and releasing the WIND button on the
display until the orange wind section lights up (usually 3 presses). Then press and hold down the
MINUS button until the station beeps and the Reception Icon starts to animate.
3.
If step 5 did not work, please try a full factory restart, by pressing and holding the WIND ALERTS
and LIGHT buttons down together until everything resets. Then remove the power cord from the
display and press any button at least 20 times. Wait a few moments before powering the display
back up.
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.
•
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.
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.
