Thermo-hygro sensor fell and does not work

 If there is no physical damage to the outdoor sensor, the fall may not have caused internal damage.
 A thermo-hygro sensor that has fallen into a puddle or other standing water or snow may have water
damage.
 Sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.
 A fall can shock the sensor or the batteries in the sensor.
 Batteries that have fallen on a hard surface may be damaged and unable to function properly.
 Complete a
restart
 Use
batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier than six
years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.

Thermo-hygro sensor drains batteries quickly

 Test a new set of Alkaline batteries. Write down the date of installation and the voltage of the
batteries.
 When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again. This is helpful in determining the
problem.
 Check the
distance
the range may work while batteries are fresh but not after they drain a bit.
 Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the sensor.

Thermo-hygro sensor stops working when hot

Thermo-hygro sensors show dashes or OFL when the temperature reaches a certain degree, but returns
to normal readings when the temperature cools down, please check:

Batteries: At higher temperatures, batteries can overheat causing sensor failure. Older and weaker
batteries are more likely to fail in hot weather. Try a fresh set of
resolved.

Distance/resistance: When the Thermo-hygro sensor is at the edge, of the
temperatures are very hot and the batteries loose strength and the connection may be lost.

Humidity shows OFL but temperature works

 Complete a restart with fresh batteries.
 Replace the thermo-hygro sensor.

Wind Sensor

 The wind sensor reads to the thermo-hygro sensor, which then transmits to the weather station.
 100% solar-powered (built-in power cell, no batteries necessary).
 High-efficiency solar panels maintain operation in every season.

Cups spinning slow or not spinning

 Check for debris or ice in cups.
 Be sure cups are below mast holder.
 Check
mounting location. Look for obstructions that prevent the wind from reaching the sensor.
 The mast should not be more than 1¼ inch thick.
 In most cases, the wind sensor needs to be 4-6ft above the highest point on the roof in order to clear
nearby obstructions and read accurately.
 A 50 foot clearance in all directions is best.
