Problem

Solution

Transmitter (outdoor unit) not

reporting in to console.

There are dashes (--) on the

display console.

Check the transmitter and/or solar panel LED for flashing. You

must remove the radiation shield to view the LED on the

transmitter.

The transmitter has a LED just above the battery compartment.

The solar panel has a led just below the solar panel. The LED

should flash every 48 seconds.

If the LED is not flashing every 48 seconds, Replace the batteries

in the outside transmitter. Always wait at least 2 minutes after

removing the batteries before re-inserting to the transmitter.

If the batteries were recently replaced, check the polarity. If the

sensor is flashing every 48 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 remote and the base station has not

been reset. The solution may be as simple as powering down and

1. Make sure you have fresh batteries in the base station.

2. With the sensor array and base station 10 feet away

from each other, remove the batteries from the base

station and wait 10 seconds. Put the batteries back in.

3. Do not touch any buttons for several minutes.

4. The remote sensor search icon

will splash on the

display. Wait several minutes for this icon to turn

temperature and humidity are still showing dashes

properly syncs up, proceed to the next step “How to

prevent intermittent wireless communication”

How to prevent intermittent wireless communication issues:

1. Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote sensor

array and base station. For cold weather

environments, install lithium batteries.

2. The maximum line of sight communication range is

300’ but most users will get 100’ or less due to
