Troubleshooting offline devices

    If the data you see on the console is inaccurate:

    1. 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. 
    2. Make sure the configuration on the console is accurate.
    3. Make sure the sensor is wired correctly or strapped tightly to your water meter.
    4. Try adjusting where the sensor is on the water meter. 
    5. Try resetting the device by taking the cover off and pressing the reset button or powering it off then on with the header pin.
    6. In some cases faulty electrical wiring in the house can effect readings. If you believe this is the case please contact us.
