WMR968 Console

Hello All,
 It's been a while since I've been on here. My console stopped displaying the outside temp. It would come and go. Checked the batteries reset the both units inside and out. SO, I purchased a new console from Warren Weather. Plugged it up and everything is grand.
 Any ideas why the old console won't recieve the outdoor temp? I have both consoles running in different rooms. One is to upload via VWS and the other just to watch.

Any help would be great!

I have two consoles and they both work fine.  Perhaps you should try the "channel re-sync/re-scan" procedure once again on the offending console. 


The procedure.
Don't remove the batteries or press reset. Do press and hold on the channel button until it beeps a second time, then release.  For the next minute or so all of the main readout indicators will blink while the unit scans for your transmitters.  Afterwords it will go back to normal and then you can check and see if it got all of your transmitters.

FWIW I have two WMR968 consoles also, and one of them lately refuses to display the OA sensor. No amount of re-seeking the sensors has restored it.

Not sure what the reason could be; in fact the console that WORKS (and is connected to VWS) is physically much farther away than the console that DOESN'T!!!!?!!

Try moving the offending console to a different location. You may find that it's the location of the console that is the problem. My console will loose comms with various sensors from time to time. But forcing the console search always fixes the problem.

tomwxman:
Well, not here. I tried that, moving the console directly adjacent to the sensor and then re-scanning--no good. It's almost as if, once the sensor has "locked-in" with the other console, that the 2nd console has no chance (I know, this makes no sense).

In the past I've had the problem and then it's gone away when I change sensor batteries and/or otherwise re-set the sensor but it becomes tiresome to do this as I have to get the ladder out and undo those tiny screws.

But like I said the PC-connected console (150' away!) works just fine so I let the 2nd problem go...  :oops:
