Why do my rain readings come and go?
- RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally. This can be normal in
some environments (e.g. moister climates). - If a sensor goes out, please wait 2-4 hours for it to reconnect on its own. Please be patient
– these stations can reconnect on their own, even after many hours. - RF (radio frequency) communication is not always 100% on. Certain temporary conditions can
cause it to go out for a time (e.g. 100% humidity).
If a miss happens:
- If your rain sensor loses connection to your station for any reason, the station will show
dashes after 30 minutes. - The station will search for 5 minutes every hour to reconnect with rain sensor.
- Be sure you have good batteries. Manually search for your sensor.
Try this:
- Bring your rain sensor within 10 feet of your station and make sure it is connected to the
station. Your station will show 0.00 for rain when connected and no rain has occurred. - After 15 minutes move the rain sensor into the next room with a wall between the sensor and
the station for 1 hour. - If there is no loss of signal in that hour, move the rain sensor just outside.
- Continue moving the rain sensor back to its original location.
- If you lose connection, look for sources of interference.
