      If your Davis Instruments Weather Station console is sluggish or not working at low temperatures, it may be because the console and display are not designed to function below 32º F (0º C). Use an external temperature sensor in low-temperature locations or install the console indoors.

      gspencerSep 12, 2025
      If the wind speed on your Davis Instruments Weather Station reads 0 all the time or intermittently, the problem may be with the anemometer. Test it by spinning the wind cups, check the reed switch fields on the diagnostic screen, and contact technical support.

    • M
      Matthew BruceSep 12, 2025
      If the wind direction reading is dashed out on your Davis Instruments Weather Station, and you have a wireless model, check the reception. If you have a cabled model, the cable may be faulty. If these steps don't solve the problem, the anemometer might be faulty, and you should contact technical support.
