Solution
The sensor array may have initiated properly and the data is registered by the
console as invalid, and the console must be reset. Press the reset button as
described in Figure 1.
With an open ended paperclip, press the reset button for 3 seconds to
completely discharge the voltage.
Take out the batteries and wait one minute, while covering the solar panel to
drain the voltage.
Put batteries back in and resync the console (Section 6.12) with the sensor
array about 10 feet away.
The LED next to the battery compartment will flash every 16 seconds. If
the LED is not flashing every 16 seconds...
Replace the batteries in the outside sensor array.
If the batteries were recently replaced, check the polarity. If the sensor is
flashing every 16 seconds, proceed to the next step.
There may be a temporary loss of communication due to reception loss
related to interference or other location factors,
or the batteries may have been changed in the sensor array and the console
has not been reset. The solution may be as simple as powering down and up
the console (remove AC power and batteries, wait 10 seconds, and reinsert
AC power and batteries).
Make certain that the sensor array is not too close to heat generating sources
or strictures, such as buildings, pavement, walls or air conditioning units.
Use the calibration feature to offset installation issues related to radiant heat
sources. Reference Section 6.10.
You may be viewing the absolute pressure, not the relative pressure.
Select the relative pressure. Make sure you properly calibrate the sensor to
an official local weather station. Reference Section 6.4 for details.
An unstable mounting solution (sway in the mounting pole) may result in the
tipping bucket incorrectly incrementing rainfall. Make sure you have a
stable, level mounting solution.
1. Confirm your password or key is correct. It is the password you
registered on Wunderground.com. Your Wunderground.com
password cannot begin with a non-alphanumeric character (a
limitation of Wundeground.com, not the station). Example, $oewkrf
is not a valid password, but oewkrf$ is valid.
