Problem
Wireless remote (water thermometer) not
reporting in to console.
There are dashes (--.-) on the display
console.
Solution
The maximum line of sight communication range is 150’
and 100’ under most conditions. Move the sensor
assembly closer to the display console.
If the sensor assembly is too close (less than 5’), move
the sensor assembly away from the display console.
Make sure the remote sensor LCD display is working
and the transmitter light is flashing once per 60 seconds.
Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote thermometer.

Problem
Solution
For cold weather environments, install lithium batteries.
Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting
through solid metal (acts as an RF shield), or earth
barrier (down a hill).
Move the display console around electrical noise
generating devices, such as computers, TVs and other
wireless transmitters or receivers.
Temperature sensor reads too high in the
day time.
Indoor and Water Temperature do not
agree
Display console contrast is weak
Move the remote sensor to a higher location. Move the
remote sensor to a closer location.
Make sure the water thermometer is mounted in water.
Consider the following radiation shield if this is not
possible:
http://www.ambientweather.com/amwesrpatean.html
Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to
signal filtering. The indoor and water temperature
sensors should agree within 2 °F (the sensor accuracy is
± 1 °F).
Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and water
temperature to a known source.
Replace console batteries with a fresh set of batteries.
