FACTORY RESET: HOW DO I FACTORY RESET MY STATION?
A Factory Restart returns the station to its default settings (erases history) and to "out of the
box" condition.
1. Remove batteries from your sensor and batteries from your station.
2. Press any button 20 times.
3. After 15 minutes insert fresh batteries into your sensor, and into your rain station.
4. Wait 15 minutes to establish a strong connection.
5. Place sensor outside.
WHY AM I GOING THROUGH BATTERIES QUICKLY?
•
Test a new set of
batteries.
•
When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again. This is helpful in determining
the problem.
•
Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the sensor.
RAIN DASHES: WHY ARE THERE DASHES FOR RAIN READINGS?
Dashes indicate the connection is lost between your station and the rain sensor.
•
My first thought is always to check that my
now is not, low batteries are the most common connection problem.

Next, check your
distance, resistance and
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.
•
When you have good batteries, and good location, hold the SENSOR button for three
seconds to search for your sensors. 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.
RAIN INTERMITTANT: WHY DO MY RAIN 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 patience
– 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).
