check that the desired output parameter
has been selected using the DIP switches.
Temperature reading shown
by the transmitter is too high.

reference meter to check this.
2. HMW82 and HMW83: Check that the
transmitter is installed in proper orientation,
with the arrow on the mounting base
pointing up.
