Power Consumption
• Base station (display console) : 4 x AA 1.5V Alkaline or Lithium batteries (not included)
• Thermo-hygro Sensor : 2 x AAA alkaline batteries or Lithium batteries (not included)
• Rain sensor: 4xAAA alkaline batteries or Lithium batteries (not included)
• Wind sensor: 4xAAA alkaline batteries or Lithium batteries (not included)
• Battery life: Minimum 12 months for base station with excellent reception. Intermittent
reception and multiple sensors may reduce the battery life.
• Minimum 12 months for sensors (use lithium batteries in cold weather climates less than
-20 °C)
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Maintenance
• Clean the rain gauge once every 3 months
• Replace the wind, rain and thermo-hygrometer transmitter batteries once every 1-2 years
Troubleshooting Guide
Problem
Wireless remote not
reporting in to console or
there are dashes (--.-) on
the display console.
Solution
If any of the sensor communication is lost, dashes (--.-) will
be displayed on the screen. To reacquire the signal, press
and hold the CHANNEL/+ button for 3 seconds, choose
the lost sensor and press SET button, and the remote
search icon will be constantly displayed. Once the signal
is reacquired, the remote search icon will turn off, and the
current values will be displayed.
The maximum line of sight communication range is 100 m
and 30 m under most conditions. Move the sensor assembly
closer to the display console.
If the sensor assembly is too close (less than 1.5m), move
the sensor assembly away from the display console.
Make sure the remote sensor LCD display is working and
the transmitter light is flashing once per 60 seconds.
Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote thermo-
hygrometer. For cold weather environments, install lithium
batteries.
Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting through
solid metal (acts as an RF shield), or earth barrier (down
a hill).
