New Transmitter > No Wind Direction (And Cumulus craziness)
Posted: Wed 11 Jan 2012 8:04 pm
So I mounted the new transmitter I got from warranty because the old one whenever it rained, I lost sensor contact. Happens that the rain sensor connection was definitely with mold or something. Happens that the new one works correctly... Except for the fact that I have absolutely no wind direction
I then tried the old one after diagnosing this and the console would no longer detect it but I guess it caught itself on a DCF signal detection loop and I then tried the new one, which worked. So... I've read about a resistor maybe faulty on the wind vane, maybe I could've burned it somehow with the batteries? (I put the old rechargeable batteries in with the solar cell. I measured both the batteries and the cell power which gave 1,5V and ~6V respectively).
Edit: I should add that I had my console memory erased with one record only, when I connected Cumulus it went to get 9ÂșC and 1035 hpa and 25 mm readings from somewhere I don't know
Happened both times I disconnected and connected the station to the PC but its memory was empty! This didn't happen in EW.
