15  Fault Description 
 
Device does not allow polling / does 
not respond 
-  Check power supply 
-  Check interface connection 
-  Incorrect device ID  check ID; devices are 
delivered with ID 1. 
The device measures precipitation 
but it is not raining 
Check that the sensor was installed correctly in 
accordance with the instructions. 
The measured temperature appears 
too high / measured humidity 
appears too low 
Check the operation of the fan on the underside of 
the device. 
Wind direction values are incorrect 
Device is not correctly aligned  check that the 
device is aligned to the North. 
Device transmits error value 24h 
(36d) 
A channel is being polled that is not available on this 
device type; e.g. Channel 200 = humidity is being 
polled on a WS200-UMB. 
Device transmits error value 28h 
(40d) 
The device is in the initialization phase following 
startup the device delivers measurements after 
approx. 10 seconds. 
Device transmits error value 50h 
(80d) 
The device is being operated above the limit of the 
specified measuring range. 
Device transmits error value 51h 
(81d) 
The device is being operated below the limit of the 
specified measuring range. 
Device transmits error value 55h 
(85d) during wind measurement 
The device is unable to execute a valid 
measurement due to the ambient conditions. 
This may be due to the following reasons: 
-  The device is being operated well above the limit of 
the specified measuring range 
-  Very strong horizontal rain or snow 
-  The wind meter sensors are very dirty  clean 
sensor 
-  The wind meter sensors are iced over  check 
heating mode in the configuration and check 
heating function / connection 
-  There are foreign objects within the measuring 
section of the wind meter 
-  One of the wind meter’s sensors is faulty  return 
device to manufacturer for repair 
The quality of the wind 
measurement is not always100% 
In normal operation the device should always 
transmit 90 – 100%. Values up to 50% do not 
represent a general problem. 
When the error value 55h (85d) is transmitted this 
value is 0%. 
If the device permanently transmits values below 
50% this may mean that there is a fault. 
Device transmits an error value not 
listed here 
This may be due to a number of reasons  contact 
the manufacturer’s technical support department.
