Problem
Solution
If the batteries were recently replaced, check the polarity. If the sensor is
flashing every 16 seconds, proceed to the next step.
There may be a temporary loss of communication due to reception loss
related to interference or other location factors,
or the batteries may have been changed in the sensor array and the tablet has
not been reset. The solution may be as simple as powering down and up the
tablet (remove AC power, wait 10 seconds, and reinsert AC power).
Temperature sensor
reads too high in the
daytime.
Make certain that the sensor array is not too close to heat generating sources
or strictures, such as buildings, pavement, walls or air conditioning units.
Use the calibration feature to offset installation issues related to radiant heat
sources. Reference Section 6.9.
Relative pressure does
not agree with official
reporting station
You may be viewing the absolute pressure, not the relative pressure.
Select the relative pressure. Make sure you properly calibrate the sensor to
an official local weather station. Reference Section 6.9..
Rain gauge reports
rain when it is not
raining
An unstable mounting solution (sway in the mounting pole) may result in the
tipping bucket incorrectly incrementing rainfall. Make sure you have a
stable, level mounting solution.
Data not reporting to

may be reporting old data, not real time data.
3. Make sure your time zone is set properly. If incorrect, you may be

own a 5 GHz router, and it is a dual band router, you will need to
disable the 5 GHz band, and enable the 2.4 GHz band.
