The exact calibration of each tip is pre-set by adjustable stops located under the tipping buckets. Do
not alter these stops unless as part of a calibration exercise. A levelling bubble is provided as an aid
to levelling of the rain gauge. Connections to the reed switches are made via the green connector
terminal.

Maintenance and Calibration
Basic Maintenance
To ensure reliable and accurate measurements it is recommended that the following checks are
carried out at each visit to the rain gauge (if the gauge is still connected to a data logger and the logger
is operating, care must be taken to avoid tipping the bucket when carrying out these checks).
