Monitor only displays zeros regardless of the mode. I changed battery and reconnected the wire. How can I tell if the sensor is working properly?

I don't know. But all I can say is, mine has different numbers all the time. If you have a new battery in, something must be wrong.

Never had that problem, so I don't know about your problem. Have had my mini stepper for over 2 yrs. use every other day and both the stepper and I are doing great.

All I need to do to get mine to work is to hold down the buttons and it shows the numbers in black. I haven't had a problem with the sensor at all.

I've never had to reset the outdoor sensor, but the easiest way would be to remove the battery for about a minute, then replace it. If the base unit shows no reading from the sensor, don't forget that the system will handle more than one sensor. While you have removed the battery, check the little switch inside to see what channel it's on, then set the base unit accordingly. The instruction manual covers this.

Just plug the monitor to a 9V battery that you can buy from the Dollar Tree. Red wire to the positive and black wire to the negative. Use one of those "TV GAMES" joysticks with the built-in games to test it. I tried it yesterday and it worked great!

Restart the device if you haven't tried already, that usually helps programs respond (, on a good day lol), if that doesn't work the devices internal sensor may need repair/check for recalibration.

I had to replace one a few years ago. I believe I reset it so many times that the reset failed to function properly. I read Hippie Bob's suggestion and wish I had tried that before I discarded the original sensor. Good luck .

Monitor unit must be connected to power. Sensors seem average and are said to have about a 7 year battery life. The sensors have to be replaced when the batteries go dead just like the oem sensors

Mine shows zero. But then mine is dead after only 9 months of light use. I wouldn't recommend this one.

Make sure the MPH is showing zero. If not, the magnet is not close enough to the sensor. Hold up the front wheel and turn it. If the screen is blank. It is not picking up a signal. Check battery in sensor, as well.

Two possible optionThe sensor is no well cleanAfter the first, take de batteries out a reseting the device.

Eric:Like you, I was unable to get a direct read from either of my 2 remote sensors. It, supposedly, will use the readings to "average" the temps, but like you, I would love to see a direct read-out on the face of the stat!Sorry I couldn't help you . . .Mike

sorry I'm not that savy with what your saying. Should I put a volt meter on the 2 lines and physically trip the sensor itself and look for a voltage spike or a contunity test doing the same thing?

Check for loose wiring/loose fittings first. Second would be to try changing the resolution on screen. Last would be your monitor is going out. Let's hope that's not it.

Try removing the batteries, and leave them out for a couple of hours before putting them back in. It is possible there is a static buildup on the sensor. I had a similar problem with a desktop scanner, and performing a power cycle solved the problem. Other than that contact VuPoint tech support.

Yes, the display reading is in red text again black. When I come up the stairs at night with no lights I am able to see the reading of 0.

I had that problem at first until I synchronized the computer the sensor. Make sure the sensor is synchronized with the computer. When the computer is synchronized with sensor you will get a small icon on your computer. You can get more tips from Youtube. I hope this helps...

Mine worked straight out of the box. Make sure sensitivity is turned up. If sensitivity is up high and it still doesn't work. Change the batteries. Good luck

sorry, it has been so long since we hooked it up i forgot. There were 2 hot wires going to the monitor, one did not go on automatically so i used the other. The unit works well, after several months.
