Care & Maintenance
Display Care
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives. Keep
away from dust, dirt and moisture. Clean ventilation ports regularly with a
gentle puff of air.
5-in-1 Sensor Care
Clean the Sensor
Clean with a soft damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives that will
mar the polished surfaces of the rain collection funnel or the solar cell. Scratches
will result in decreased performance and reliability.
Insect Prevention
Insects may cause obstructions and interrupt data by nesting in or on the 5-in-1
sensor. To limit this problem, spray the OUTSIDE of the sensor with a household
insect repellent. Consult the insect repellent instructions prior to use.
Snow & Freezing Weather
The 5-in-1 sensor will not be damaged by freezing conditions. NOTE: If the rain
collector cup fills with snow and then melts, it will register as rain on the display.
Clean the Rain Collector Cup
Remove and empty rain collector debris filter. The debris filter is located in the
rain collector funnel. Remove from the top by gently squeezing and pulling out.
Clean the Wind Vane & Anemometer
Remove foreign matter from the outside of the sensor for free movement of the
wind vane and anemometer. If needed, use a small amount of spray lubricant,
clear silicone or graphite powder on the anemometer for improved movement.
Calibration
The indoor / outdoor temperature and humidity readings, and barometric
pressure can be calibrated on the display to improve accuracy. Calibration can
improve accuracy when sensor placement or environmental factors impact the
data accuracy.
1. To access calibration mode, press AND HOLD the “
V
“, “
V
“ and “ ”
buttons simultaneously for at least 5 seconds.
2. To adjust the currently selected (flashing) item, press and release the “
V
“
or “
V
“ buttons to calibrate the data value higher or lower from the actual
reading.
3. To save your adjustments, press and release the “ ” button to adjust the
next preference. The “
” icon will remain illuminated next to calibrated
values.
