UV and Solar readings showing in red

Post by paulm »

See screenshot of the Live Data page (from an MBPRO getting data from a Vantage Vue over RF) at https://surfdrive.surf.nl/files/index.p ... Vp5Awq0afO

The UV and Solar readings are suddenly showing in red. There's also a battery sign next to the solar reading that I haven't noticed before. Is this indicating that there hasn't been enough solar power to charge the internal Vue battery?

I also wonder how to read the hours and db values. This unit was installed 19 days ago, with let's say 8 hours of sun per day, gives 152 hours. So that's in the right ballpark. The unit should be properly oriented, with the solar panel to the south.

They would be because the VUE does not have UV or Solar capabilities. You would need something like a VP2 plus for UV and Solar radiation.

Those look like false readings that have been picked from anywhere long time ago (hours indicate last reception of the signal).
