manually reconnecting the weather station to its sensors (initiate the re‐learn process on the weather station (press and hold the up ^ arrow until the weather station beeps).

HEAVY WEATHER PRO DOES NOT RECONNECT TO THE WEATHER STATION

If for some reason the weather station loses connection with its external sensors, it will try to automatically reconnect to them (usually within a few minutes). During the time when the weather station is not connected to the sensors, the various data sections on Heavy Weather will also blank out, or display dashes (‐‐‐).

If the weather station has lost connection with its sensors, and is now reconnected to them, but the Heavy Weather Pro software is still not registering the data, it may be necessary to resynchronize the USB device with the weather station. Please refer to the section on Synchronizing for detailed instructions.

WHY DO I SEE BIG SPIKES IN THE WIND OR RAIN DATA?

This is typically due to loss of connection to the weather station or the external sensors while the Heavy Weather Pro software is running.

I HAVE LOST CONNECTION WITH MY EXTERNAL RAIN AND/OR WIND SENSOR(S).

RAIN SENSOR

If the connection to the rain sensor has been lost, it may be due to low batteries. Please replace the batteries in your rain sensor and initiate the re‐learn process on the weather station (press and hold the up ^ arrow until the weather station beeps).

WIND SENSOR

If the connection to the wind sensor has been lost, it may be due to a lack of direct sunlight. The wind sensor relies on sunlight to keep its solar cells charged. If the sensor has not been exposed to sunlight for more than three days, this may have caused it to lose connection with the weather station. Once the wind sensor has been exposed to sunlight, either by moving it unto direct sunlight or placing it under a bright lamp, it should reconnect to the weather station. If it does not reconnect on its own, initiate the re‐learn process on the weather station (press and hold the up ^ arrow until the weather station beeps).
