No Readings or Inaccurate Readings
• Is there power to the Weather Station instrument?
• Are all the connections tight?
• Is the cable-run free of kinks?
• Is the wiring correct?
• Are there any obstructions in the wind channel of the Weather Station instru-
ment?
Keep it free of spider webs, insects, dirt, and other debris. Be careful not to
puncture the blue waterproof film or scratch the blue plate.
• Is there ice on the Weather Station instrument?
No GPS Fix
• Does the Weather Station instrument have a clear view of the sky?
