Cumulus Support

hi all
i bought this last year and then sent it to India to my niece, she set it up and it was all ruining fine for couple of months but then the console display died for some reason, she checked batteries and tried other batteries too but no luck.

Any advise?

Thanks

Kedar

Hi Kedar,

Is it definitely the Console that has failed, i.e. a completely "blank" LCD, no "internal" measurements displayed, and/or no communications with the PC, etc.?

Generally, the Console is the most "expensive" part of the station, and even identical model numbers may use different radio frequencies, so the usual advice is to obtain another complete station, because at least the wind/rain sensors are compatible and may "come in useful" as spares later.

However, the "Solar Pod" of the 308x models is also an expensive component, so it might be worth finding out if the solar facilties are an "essential" part for the station. IMHO, the "solar charging" is a complete waste of space and even the solar measurements are of limited practical value.

But to be honest, I do quite like the 308x stations (when they work properly). I'm just not sure that they're worth a 50%+ higher price compared with the 108x or 208x stations.

Cheers, Alan.

hey Alan,

I m agree with you on the replacement of the entire station they are overall not that expensive...but to my surprise my Niece just told me this morning that the console started working some how after taking the batteries our for some time and putting them back in. i think it needed a complete restart.
