5. If the sensor assembly is too close (less than
5-10'), move the sensor assembly away from the
display console.
6. Make sure the remote sensors are not
transmitting through solid metal (acts as an RF
shield), or earth barrier (down a hill).
7. Move the display console around electrical noise
generating devices, such as computers, TVs and
other wireless transmitters or receivers.
8. Move the remote sensor to a higher location.
Move the remote sensor to a closer location.
9. Radio Frequency (RF) Sensors cannot transmit
through metal barriers (example, aluminum
siding) or multiple, thick walls.
Make sure the thermo-hygrometer is mounted in a
shaded area on the north facing wall.
1. Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize
due to signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor
temperature sensors should agree within 4 °F
(the sensor accuracy is ± 2 °F).
2. Perform a temperature calibration (reference
Section 5.2.5)
1. Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize
due to signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor
humidity sensors should agree within 10 % (the
sensor accuracy is ± 5 %)
2. Perform a humidity calibration (reference
Section 5.2.4)
The console displays the calibrated humidity. The remote
displays the measured humidity only. Refer to 5.2.4 to
set and reset the humidity calibration.
1. You may be viewing the relative pressure, not
the absolute pressure.
2. Make sure you properly calibrate the barometer
to an official local weather station (reference
Section 4.2.1)
3. The barometer is only accurate to ± 0.08 inHg
within the following relative pressure range:
27.13 to 32.50 inHg, which corresponds to an
altitude of -2,200 to 2,700 feet. At higher
altitudes, expect some non-linearity or error.
The weather station console must run for several days to
trend barometric pressure.
The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of
weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours, and varies
from location to location. The tendency is simply a tool
for projecting weather conditions and is never to be
relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather.
Check your calendar date and make sure it is correct
Check your longitude and latitude. The most common
issues are:
