I'm running 265NC

Thank you in advance for reading this post

Hi,

If all the other external data are correct (windspeed, rain, temperature and humidity) but no wind direction is shown on the LCD Console then the transmitter is unable to "read" the sensor (vane) direction, so reports a "direction unknown" value to the Console (which blanks the direction pointer).

The wind direction is indicated by one of 16 electrical resistance values, but if the transmitter measures a value which is not close to any of these (i.e. an open-circuit, short-circuit or within a few large "gaps" between values) then it has to report "unknown". Possible causes are an open-circuit (check the alignment of the little wire contacts within the transmitter Wind socket), a short-circuit (damaged cable/connector), or just a "bad" resistance value perhaps due to water/moisture in the cable/connector (although this usually also causes bad external temperature measurements!).

Cheers, Alan.

Hi Alan

Thank you so much for the information it was very helpful and I learned alot from your message it turned out to be a moisture issue as I took a hair dryer to it and its working fine now.
