Problem Solution
Wireless remote (rain gauge) not reporting
in to console.
There are dashes on the display console. The maximum line of sight communication range is
300’. Move the sensor assembly closer to the display
console.
If the sensor assembly is too close (less than 10’), move
the sensor assembly away from the display console.
Cycle power on the console. The console may have
exited the search mode.
Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote rain gauge.
For cold weather environments, install lithium batteries.
Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting
through solid metal (acts as an RF shield), or earth
barrier (down a hill).
Move the display console around electrical noise
generating devices, such as computers, TVs and other
wireless transmitters or receivers.
Move the remote sensor to a higher location. Move the
remote sensor to a closer location.
Radio Frequency (RF) Sensors cannot transmit through
metal barriers (example, aluminum siding) or multiple,
thick walls.
Indoor temperature sensor innacurate Check/ Replace the batteries. Also make sure that the
base station is not placed near objects that can act as
