There is a sensor near mine that is clearly erroneous - AQI is 3000+ most of the time. Can this be corrected or can I manually exclude it from my real time map? It’s called Swiss Ln

Hi Bill,

Thanks for letting us know! We’ve taken steps to address this issue by temporarily [downgrading](https://community.purpleair.com/t/the-confidence-score/5193/4#p-8116-channel-indicators-3) both channels, as well as recommending sensor maintenance to the owner. This sensor shouldn’t be a problem for you anymore.

Let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.
