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 “

 

simultaneously for at least 5 seconds.

2. To adjust the currently selected (flashing) item, press and release the “

buttons to calibrate the data value higher or lower from the actual reading.

 

3. To save your adjustments, press and release the “SET” button to adjust the next 

preference. The “  ” icon will remain illuminated next to calibrated values.

 

The preference set order is as follows:
