7.2. Problems in the temperature sensor module
The receiver receives signals from sensors, but fails to registrate
signals from one sensor in particular.
Potential problems:
-
Batteries are missing or are at a low charging level
-
Reversed polarity of the sensor's batteries
-
The sensor's location is outside of the receiver's reception range
-
Damage to the sensor (by corroded battery contacts, moisture
or battery leakage)
-
Problems in the radio signal communication
E
Suggested solutions:
N
-
Insert fully charged batteries in the sensor and repeat the
communication test (please check the polarisation of the
G
batteries before inserting!!)
-
Check the battery contacts and remove all corrosion and
L
moisture effects.
I
7.3. Radio signal transfer problems
S
The receiver system is missing signals from one or more sensors, or only
H
receiving a limited number of signals.
Potential problems:
-
Walls or ceilings between sensor and receiver may contain
metallic constructions.
-
Sensors and/or receiver may be located on a metallic surface
-
Sensor or receiver are situated in locations with high humidity
-
Windows between sensor and receiver may contain several layers of
glass or shielding materials or may be covered by humid moisture.
-
Other 433MHz systems may be working within the 20m operating range
-
Interference or jamming signals from radio or TV transmitters
-
Electronic or electrical equipment (eg. computer equipment or
magnetrons), operating within the 2-5m operating range
-
Low power level of the sensor's batteries (see 2)
Suggested solutions:
-
Modify the locations of the sensor and/or the receiver
-
Remove the interfering equipment
