Outdoor Readings Are Stuck Or Ofl; Intermittent Sensor Readings; Sensor Drains Batteries Quickly; Fahrenheit/Celsius - La Crosse Technology CA84688 Faqs

 The thermo-hygro sensor reads the environment. When the sensor reads high during the day
but not at night it is a mounting problem.
 Side-by-side test: Bring the wind/thermo-hygro sensor in the house and place it next to the
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 the wind speed station then try a different location
outside.
 Look for heat sources such as sunlight or reflected heat.
 Check batteries. Overpowered or underpowered batteries can cause this reading.
 Replace sensor.
 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).
If a miss happens:
 Hold the WIND button for 5 seconds to search for sensor.
 The units try for 20 minutes to reconnect. After 20 minutes, the sensor stops trying for an hour
(to preserve battery life). After the 1-hour break, the sensor will start another 20-minute re-
connect cycle.
 Distance/Resistance
window, tree etc., between the display and the sensor. UV coated windows may actually
reflect the signal. Stucco walls will absorb the signal.
 Check batteries. This is our primary warranty issue.
 Test a new set of alkaline batteries. Write down the date of installation and the voltage of the
batteries.
 When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again. This is helpful in determining
the problem.
 Check the distance and resistance between the sensor and station. Sensors at the end of the
range may work while batteries are fresh but not after they drain a bit.
 Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the sensor.
 Enter the program menu to select in Fahrenheit (ºF) or Celsius (ºC).
