5. Troubleshooting

Possible disruptions that can hamper proper display of the transmitted measured values are:

No reception - the distance between the transmitter and receiver is too much or too less (<3 ft., 1 m).

Reduce or increase the distance between the transmitter / receiver.

No reception - there are highly resistant materials (thick walls, steel concrete, ...) located between the transmitter and the receiver

Relocate the transmitter or receiver. Also see chapter 6 ("Range").

No reception - transmitter batteries are empty.

Replace batteries.

No reception - transmitter is covered by the disturbance source (Wireless device, wireless headphone/ loudspeaker)

Remove the source of the fault and look for another position for the transmitter and receiver. Such disturbances are only for a short period (wireless traffic) or can be rectified in a very simple manner. Any wireless headphones, wireless baby phones or similar devices are operated at a frequency of 916.5 MHz in your house or in the vicinity only for a short duration. Most of these devices are enabled for exchang- ing signals at an interruption-free frequency. Such a measure can effectively fade out all interruptions.

No reception – Log in of sensor was not successful.

Execute log in procedure again. Refer page 13 of the manual and follow the instructions of the receiver station.
