Check for debris or ice preventing cups from moving.
Check mounting location. Look for obstructions that prevent the wind from reaching the sensor.
In most cases, the wind sensor needs to be 4-6ft above the highest point on the roof to clear nearby
obstructions and read accurately.
A 50-foot clearance in all directions is best.
Push down firmly on the center of the cups to reseat them.
Cups are replaceable.
Occasionally, a bad storm with hail or debris that will damage your wind cups. These are easily replaced.
Replace wind cups:
1. Loosen the screw on side of cups
2. Remove cups
3. Install new cups
4. Tighten screw
Note: The screw in the wind cups will fit on the flat side of the metal stem on the sensor.

WIND READING 0.00: WHY DO I ONLY SEE 0.00 FOR WIND SPEED?

The 0.00 means your wind sensor is connected to your station.
Check that the cups spin freely. Something may be preventing movement.
Are your wind cups unbroken? After a storm it is good to check this.

WIND DASHES: WHY ARE THERE DASHES FOR WIND READINGS?

In some cases, under long periods of cold and/or dark conditions, the sensor can get stuck in a low power mode of sorts. To
kick it back on, simply remove and reinsert the batteries.
However, if this still does not resolve the problem, please try the following steps:
1.
Be sure to mount the Breeze Pro Sensor level, with the solar panel facing south, and in an open area to allow for the
most sunlight possible.
2. It can help to search for the sensor again by pressing and releasing the WIND button on the display until the orange wind
section lights up (usually 3 presses). Then press and hold down the MINUS button until the station beeps and the
Reception Icon starts to animate.
3. If step 5 did not work, please try a full factory restart, by pressing and holding the WIND ALERTS and LIGHT buttons
down together until everything resets. Then remove the power cord from the display and press any button at least 20
times. Wait a few moments before powering the display back up.
Dashes indicate the connection is lost between your station and the wind sensor.
