Inaccurate Outdoor Temperature Reading

• The outdoor transmitter reads the environment. When mounted in the home it will
read inside temperature.
• When the transmitter reads high during the day but not at night it is a
problem.
• Side-by-side test: Bring the outdoor transmitter in the house and place it next to
the temperature station for 2 hours.
• Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4
degrees to be within tolerance. See the section on
• If the transmitter reads correctly when next to the temperature station then try a
different location outside.
• Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door, or window frames, or reflected heat.

Intermittent Outdoor Temperature

• RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally. This can be
normal in some environments (e.g. moister climates). If transmitter signal is lost,
please wait 2-4 hours for the signal to reconnect on its own.
• Move the outdoor transmitter to a closer location.
• Freezer test: Confirm the temperature station is reading the correct outdoor
transmitter. Place the transmitter in the freezer for an hour and watch the
temperature drop on the temperature station.
• Indoor distance test: Please complete the
temperature station 5-10 feet apart and inside to establish a strong connection.
