T ROUBLESHOOTING
Please check the troubleshooters listed below if you experience a problem with
your station. Then, if you still are unable to solve the problem, we encourage
you to call the factory at (510) 732-7814 for assistance. Please do not return your
unit for repair without prior authorization.
✦ Console is receiving erratic data from the sensor array
Enable the “Test" mode on the sensor array (see “Testing Proposed Loca-
tions” on page 8). If two beeps or more are heard in a 2.5-second interval,
then another Davis wireless system may be operating nearby on the same ID
(or a cordless phone may be operating within 10 feet of the receiver). Try
changing to a different ID code on both the console and the sensor array (or
try moving the phone). Repower the console to activate the new ID code.
✦ Console is not receiving any data from the sensor array
The sensor array and the console may be too far apart, or something in their
path may be interfering, such as foliage, furnishings or cordless phones.
Enable Test Mode on sensor array to see if it is receiving data (see “Testing
Proposed Locations” on page 8). Try moving the console closer to the sensor
array or vice versa; or eliminating possible path interferences.
✦ Console is emitting beeps
If you hear single beeps, flip dip switch #4 to turn off Test Mode in both the
transmitter and receiver.
If you hear a double beep, the SensorLink Receiver in the console is not receiv-
ing data. This occurs when the SensorLink Receiver has not received data
for 30 minutes. Try moving the console closer to the sensor array or vice
versa; or eliminating possible path interferences.
If you hear a triple beep, the SensorLink Transmitter in the sensor array is
extremely low on power—replace battery immediately.
✦ Data from the optional WeatherLink program shows temperature, humidity, or wind
values that were constant over some period
The SensorLink Receiver in the console did not receive new data during this
period and passed the last good data to the WeatherLink. Try moving the
console closer to the sensor array or vice versa; or eliminating possible path
interferences.
✦ Battery(ies) are not lasting the expected 6 months (for 1 battery) or 1 year (for 2)
Make sure dip switch #4 in the transmitter is set to OFF to prevent the LED
from flashing unnecessarily when not testing (see “Testing Proposed Loca-
tions” on page 8). If you are using two batteries, also make sure that both
are fresh when installed.
✦ Console is not registering any rainfall.
Double check that you have cut the cable tie that secures the rain bucket
during shipping. See step 4 on page 4 for instructions.
✦ Console does not register wind direction correctly
Check that you have mounted the sensor array with the anemometer arm
