Rainfall readings are higher than expected
If your rainfall readings are higher than you’d expect, it’s possible that the mechanism is
being physically moved by something other than the rain. Check the angle and height of
the Rain Gauge – if it’s exposed to the wind, the wind itself could be physically blowing
the mechanism back and forth, which would simulate rainfall. You could also check
the method of installation – for example, if the Rain Gauge is secured to a fence that is
being blown in the wind, this could cause the mechanism to shake and produce the same
outcome.
No rainfall measurements are being received – readings are displaying zero
If no rainfall readings are being received whatsoever, there could be a blockage
preventing any rain from even reaching the mechanism. Remove and clean the cone to
make sure this is clear, while also ensuring that the Rain Gauge Filter is in place.
No rainfall measurements are being received – dashes are shown instead
If you are seeing dashes where your rainfall readings should be, this will likely be to do
with the Rain Gauge not being properly powered. Replace the batteries in this part to
make sure that the Rain Gauge is turned on and being received by your Display Console.
Check the battery port for any dirt or corrosion that could be preventing the batteries
from making a successful connection and carefully clean this if required.
