Digitech weather station rain not reading

Remove the batteries from both units for a couple of hours. Replace the indoor unit battery and then the outdoor battery. This will effect a reset of sorts. Don't forget your rainfall can be different to someone 600 meters away. Having said that 100mm / 4 3/4" difference is a lot.

Help in the link. All of the weather stations are made by the same company.

There are a couple of possibilities for the failure to transmit/receive outdoor data. First, resynch the two units. This will depend on the manufacturer. For some brands, you need to take the batteries out of both the indoor and outdoor units for 10 minutes. Then put the batteries into the devices with both side by side (working inside is easier). Wait until the outdoor data is displayed. There are some weather station systems where the outdoor unit isn't weather-proof. You may need to dry the outdoor unit for several days after removing the batteries before resynching it to indoor sensor.

If the data displays properly when the outdoor unit is inside, you may have the outdoor sensor too far away from the indoor unit. (The distance will depend on the number of walls and the composition of the wall studs/siding.) Try keeping the two units closer together.

If the outdoor data isn't displayed when the two units are side by side and the reset procedure doesn't work. One device has an internal malfunction (transmitter or receiver failed). It's probably best to replace the unit. If it is under warranty, contact the manufacturer.

I hope this helps. For specific details on resetting the indoor and outdoor units to synch them, please add a comment with the make/model of your weather station.

What model number

To reset the rainfall Press Set 4 times so the rainfall amount is flashing. Change the rainfall indicator to Total, then hold down the set button for 3 seconds.

To set station Hold SET key down for 3 secs. Press SET key to select setting in this sequence. 1. Time Zone 2. 12/24hr format 3.Manual time setting HR/Min. 4. Calendar setting y/mm/dd 5.Temp display C or F 6.Air pressure display hPa or inHg 7.Relative pressure setting from 919.0hPa-1080.0hPa 8 Pressure threshold (sensitivity)Default 2 9.Storm threshold Default 4 10.Wind speed reading km/h, mph etc 11 Rainfall display in mm or inch. Use the + and History keys to adjust values (History key is - ) When replacing batteries Fit outside unit ones first then fit inside unit ones in that sequence so it can interpret the security code.

The wireless unit that transmits to the indoor unit is weather resistant, but not immersible. Even so, try to shield the transmitter from the sun and rain, if possible. When positioning the transmitter, keep in mind that direct sunlight may cause false readings and mounting it on heat-retaining materials (like brick) will show a higher temperature, even after sunset. Avoid mounting it anywhere near things that give off heat (air conditioner units, dark exterior walls, etc.).

Good luck from Detroit, MI.

Double check the batteries and the direction in which they are installed. If there is one backwards in the sending unit that is outside, it will not send a signal. Also, there is typically one battery in the indoor unit that is responsible for receiving the signal from the outdoor unit. If all of the batteries are in correctly except that battery, you will see the display, but will not get the data transmitted from the outside sending unit.
