problems after a power spike

Post by fastbysuzuki »

hi
our station has been hit with two power spikes recently the last one caused the console to error we had to shut down Cumulus and depower the unit remove batterys and reinstall batterys and power back on, this reset everything apart from the temp/humidity is now reading 0 prior to depowering the temp readings was 70 deg even during the night is this something that has been seen before perhaps a failed temp/humidity sensor? also the auto web update is not working it will manually update so will be looking at the Internet settings to see if auto update has somehow been unchecked. any help appreciated.

It does sound like the sensor has failed. When mine have failed (several times), the symptoms have been very high or very low (negative) readings.

See the FAQ for the reason it's not auto-updating: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#Cumulu ... eb_uploads
