If the data you see on the console is inaccurate:
- Make sure the NOWi monitor is as close to the base of the register and the meter as possible. Clear out any dirt that gets in the way.
- Make sure the configuration on the console is accurate.
- Make sure the sensor is wired correctly or strapped tightly to your water meter.
- Try adjusting where the sensor is on the water meter.
- Try resetting the device by taking the cover off and pressing the reset button or powering it off then on with the header pin.
- In some cases faulty electrical wiring in the house can effect readings. If you believe this is the case please contact us.
