Just curious if anyone here would know why the temperature on my Vantage
Pro 2 goes out of whack, especially during damp weather. It usually
starts registering a temp around -36, sometimes for hours on end (summer
and winter). Other times it goes to the other extreme up to +70 C. The
humidity and wind chill also go out.

All other functions are fine. I changed the batteries to no effect.

Any ideas?

Thx

If it is a wireless version then the damp air could be affecting reception.
Have you tried moving the console?
Also check that the ISS reception is over 95% during these times. If it is
then it is a sensor as opposed to a reception problem.

Very likely that you have a faulty T/H sensor. Contact your supplying
UK dealer for support. (Was it us - can't really tell with your nom de
news?)

Nope, not you. I'm in Canada (this is the only active usenet group that
I can find that discusses weather stations). I moved the console and the
problem continued last night. Today was bright and sunny and beautiful
so no problem.

Can the sensor be replaced easily or will I have to replace the entire
unit?

Thx!

The sensor is easily replaced, and the replacement comes with excellent
instructions.

Thanks. I'll give the local dealer a buzz this week!

I've gotten the replacement sensor but it came with no instructions.
I've searched online for a manual/instructions but came up with nothing.
Do you have a link that can help?

It's a Vantage Pro 6152 and the replacement is 7346.029 temp/hum sensor.

Thx!
