    Can you try it on a different computer?



    I see that you purchased the sensor 7 months ago. This is only happening since weeks?



    It seems that something running on the PC is interferring with the temperature sensor

    I tried it on several machines in the last months. The machine is running Windows 2003 and nothing else. Its dedicated for the temperature sensor.

    If indeed you have tried it on several systems, then it is possibly the sensor or the cable.



    The sensor comes with one year warranty (not the cables) You can return the sensor and cable to us for repair.



    We will check it on a test system. There are 3 possible scenario's:

    - if it works on the test system then it is returned to you and then it is related to your system (but I don't think that will be the case as you said that you tested it on a different machine)

    - if it is the cable, then a replacement cable has to be purchased

    - if it is the sensor, then then it will be replaced.
