Problem Possible Solution
Inaccurate
temperature or
humidity
• Make sure both the display unit and 5-in-1 sensor
are placed away from any heat sources or vents (see
page 11).
• Make sure both units are positioned away from
moisture sources (see page 11).
• Make sure 5-in-1 sensor is mounted at least 5 ft off of
the ground.
• Calibrate indoor and outdoor temperature and
humidity (see page 20).
No rainfall
• Check to ensure the rain gauge stabilizer (plastic tab)
has been removed from the bottom of the sensor (see
page 7).
• Clear debris, such as leaves, out of the rain collector
funnel and debris screen.
• Calibrate the Rain Gauge (see page 21).
Inaccurate wind
readings
• What is wind reading being compared to? Pro
weather stations are typically mounted at 30 ft high
or more. Make sure to compare data using a sensor
positioned at the same mounting height.
• Check location of the sensor. Ensure it’s mounted a
minimum of 5 ft in the air with no obstructions around
it (within several feet).
• Ensure wind cups are spinning freely. If they hesitate
or stop try lubricating with graphite powder or spray
lubricant.
Display screen
not working
• Check that the batter ies are installed correctly.
Batteries may need to be replaced.
• Reset the display by pressing the reset button, located
on the back of the display unit. Date and time will
need to be entered after a reset.
