Cumulus Support

I need a little help please , I am having problems with the transmitter on my weather centre the red light was staying on and was sending no data to the unit . I thought getting a new transmitter would solve the problem but the red light still stays on. Is there any thing I can try please . Santa is coming soon so going to ask him for a Davis Vantage Vue.
Any help would be appreciated, ',,,,thank you

Hi,

The red LED on the transmitter? Are you saying that a replacement "outdoor unit" (transmitter) behaves in exactly the same way as the first?

Are you sure that its batteries are "good"?

Cheers, Alan.

Thanks Alan, yes both transmitters old and new were behaving in this manner , I did a little browse about the forum and tried a few of the tips in resetting with the batteries , hey presto after several days and hundreds of attempts I now have two working transmitters ,
Thanks for helping though I appreciate it,
still going to ask Santa for that Davis one though

There you WILL see the Circuit Boards and will SEE the RED LED Bulb, Which IS located inside the Thermo/Hydro Transmitter Unit (I.E The Unit which has all the Leads plugged into it).

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that moving the DCF-77 antenna to the location indicated in this link will interfere with the units transmission signal. Also, the length of the antenna is a function of the frequency it is tuned to. Do not change the length of the antenna.
