Erratic readings

Post by DOC »

Hi All
Having run cumulus successfuly for threemonths I have stared getting erratic readings and error codes
The error message I am regularly getting is
LOSING SENSOR CONTACT.
The extreme codes I am getting are
Very high temp reading typically 65 degrees
high rainfall typically 165mm in 24hrs

As a last resert how can I reset the readings to ZERO?

I would welcome any advice

Regards

It sounds like the batteries in your outdoor unit are going down. This type of weather station is very critical on battery voltage.

Sorry, no banner - weather station out of action. Hoping to be up and running with a new home-made one soon.
