So I need a new console.....

[ironeagleuk]

...by the look of things, as the pressure seems to have gone haywire, and is putting me under pressure (as enough I havn't enough to worry about in life)

I currently have a Maplins N96GY (Fine Offset W-8681 I believe).

It's 2.5 years old.

Everything works fine, apart from the pressure reading as per this thread: https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=8256

I know Maplins are selling the whole kaboodle for £60 at the mo....but as I don't need the lot just yet, I was hoping to just find a new or second hand console.

Have been scouring Ebay and came across this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WH3080-Replac ... 46004946f0
More info here: http://www.signatrol.com/product/185_we ... power.html

Does anyone know if that would be compatible with my current out door sensors?

If not, does anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks...I was sort of aware of this potential problem.

So if I did buy second hand, there's no guarantee that the same console will work with my system....so I might as well buy a whole new setup then?

But am guessing that it's just the transmitter and receiver that need to be matched....I can use my old rain gaurge and wind speed/direction apparatus?

Yes you are correct.

Yes you are correct.

having looked at the insides of the console, and the pics on the forum....I may be able to swap the pressure sensor with a known working one from another unit.

Is this do-able?

Hi Richard,

Possibly, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I believe the sensors might be "calibrated" at manufacture (but we are talking FO here) by data in an internal ROM, so I wouldn't rely on the accuracy when replacing temperature or humidity sensors. However, you can at least manually calibrate the "sea level" pressure, but I wonder if the "sensivity", i.e. the scale range, is consistent between sensors?

Cheers, Alan.
