Hello,
I have a TestiFire 1000 Device with an IR sensor fault. The problem was that the IR sensor had no power.
Initially, I found that R47 had 5V, but it was OL (open loop). I replaced it with another 100 Ohm resistor, and 5V was restored to the IR sensor.
The second problem I found was that R50 (I think) was 4700, but it was also OL. I replaced it with another 470 Ohm resistor.
Despite these fixes, the device was still giving me an IR sensor error. At this point, I was about to give up, until the owner advised me to attach the CUP to make sure the IR sensor was at the correct distance from its receivers.
Once I did that, the device powered on and worked normally. There is no information about this online, so I hope this information helps.

It's cold here at times in Canada, but not that cold!
Easy solution is to go to AcuRite website and purchase the sensor. Right?...
