Hello,

About two weeks ago the outside temp gauge of our W-8681 gave a false reading far below the actual temperature and has continued to do so. Does anyone have any ideas about this and is there a solution?

This is my first posting on this site. I have operated the W-8681 for 3 years now. I live on the island of Crete, Greece and in the two house removals to get here I have lost my operating/maintenance instuctions for my weather station. I am wondering if the fine dust and wind conditions here may have some effect on the gauge over the years.

Regards,

Berry

Not able to help with your problem apart from maybe try new batteries.
But here is a link to the manual

Hi,

Are you sure it is only the external temperature? Is the wind direction reported correctly?

The transmitter uses the same A/D converter for temperature and wind direction. If only temperature is faulty then it might be a solder joint or failed thermistor. The thread Photos of the insides.. #3 shows the (blue) thermistor bead, but AFAIK nobody has identified the part number, and it might be calibated in the firmware.

Cheers, Alan.
