  • Page 73: Troubleshooting Guide

    Clean the solar radiation sensor and solar panel every 3 months with damp cloth. Replace batteries every 1-2 years. If left in too long, the batteries may leak due to environmental challenges. In harsh environments, inspect the batteries every 3 months (when cleaning the solar panel). When replacing the batteries, apply a corrosion preventive compound on the battery terminals.
  • Page 74 Problem Solution solution may be as simple as powering down and up the console. Make sure you have fresh batteries in the display console. With the sensor array and console 10 feet away from each other, remove the batteries from the display console and wait 10 seconds.
  • Page 75 Problem Solution than 5’), move the sensor assembly away from the display console. Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting through solid metal like aluminum siding (acts as an RF shield), or earth barrier (down a hill). Move the display console around electrical noise generating devices, such as computers, TVs and other wireless transmitters or receivers.
