      If the wind speed reading on your Davis Instruments Weather Station seems too high or too low, for low readings, remove the wind cups and check for any friction. Also, check the location of the anemometer to make sure it is not sheltered from the wind. Consult the ISS manual for more troubleshooting steps.

      If the inside humidity reading on your Davis Instruments Weather Station seems too high or low, ensure the console isn't near a humidifier or dehumidifier. Check the calibration number and adjust if necessary. If the inside humidity is low and the inside temperature is too high, consult the information about inside temperature.

    What to do if Davis Instruments Weather Station display shows dashes?
    • C
      Cassidy BensonAug 28, 2025
      If your Davis Instruments Weather Station display shows dashes instead of weather data, this could be due to several reasons: the ISS is not plugged in (for cabled stations), sensors are not transmitting (for wireless stations), the console is not receiving data (for wireless stations), a reading has exceeded the specified limits, or calibration numbers may be causing readings to exceed display limits. For the first three causes, consult the ISS or reception troubleshooting sections. For the last, check the calibration number and adjust if necessary.

      If the inside temperature reading on your Davis Instruments Weather Station seems too high, move the console out of direct sunlight. Ensure that the console or sensor isn't touching an exterior wall that heats up, and that it's not near any heat sources like lamps or appliances. Also, make sure the console backlight is off. Check the calibration number and adjust if necessary.

Ensure the status LED indicates normal function; otherwise, the device hasn't registered on the network. Check the LEDs. 3.
