1000 Series Micro & 2000 Series Weather Station Recertification Program

Our products are designed to provide the highest level of accuracy, reliability and ruggedness you deserve. We make every effort to produce the most durable and long-lasting products available today. Over time, certain components are subject to wear and tear. Lightning, rain, snow, salt spray, and extreme temperatures all take their toll. Because of this, and because we know how important accurate data is to you, we offer a Recertification Program for weather stations. Our Recertification Program enables you to send your hardware to our Aurora, Illinois facility where it undergoes a complete diagnostic check-up.

Diagnostic Check-Up

Each check-up includes an inspection of the complete module and wiring, updates to the latest firmware and accuracy checks on all stations. You will recieve a Weather Station Functionality Report detailing our testing. If any components of the weather station are found not to be within the published specifications, you will be notified for recommended replacement*.  After authorization for replacement is received, each component will be calibrated and tested.

*The fee for recertification does not include the cost for any recommended replacement parts or sensors, or shipping to return. 

One-Year Warranty

After the station has been recertified, a one-year warranty will apply to all parts replaced during the recertification process. The turnaround time for recertification of a weather station is estimated at 14 days from the time we receive it.

If you are interested in having your 1000 Series Micro & 2000 Series Weather Station recertified, please contact Spectrum Technologies, Inc. at 1-800-248-8873.
