LOW RAIN: WHY IS MY RAINFALL READING LOW? 

 

Low rain readings indicate the rain sensor and weather station are connected. 

 

Check that the rocker tips freely. 

 

Check the funnel and the inside of the rain sensor for insect nests or debris that may 

cause loss of rocker motion. 

 

Be sure to mount the rain sensor level by checking the bubble level on top of the 

sensor. 

 

Complete Tip Test:  

Write down the Total Rain reading or reset the Rain Total to 0.00. With Rain Sensor 

mounted slowly pour water into the funnel to tip the rocker of the rain sensor 10 times. 

Wait at least 2 minutes for all the rain to collect. Repeat three times. 

 

 

Compare these tests. If they are the same, then your rain is reading correctly. If the rain 

readings are different, repeat the test 3 times to avoid human error. Then look for 

causes such as mounting too tight or debris clogging the funnel. 

HIGH RAIN: WHY IS MY RAINFALL READING HIGH? 

 

Check for sources of RF (radio frequency) interference such as other wireless rain 

sensors, ham radios or electric transformers.  

 

Keep the weather station six feet from cordless phones or wireless routers etc. 

 

Complete a Tip Test:  

Write down the Total Rain reading or reset the Rain Total to 0.00. With Rain Sensor 

mounted slowly pour water into the funnel to tip the rocker of the rain sensor 10 times. 

Wait at least 2 minutes for all the rain to collect. Repeat three times. 

 

 

Compare these tests. If they still read high then contact support. 

HOW CAN I CLEAN THE RAIN SENSOR? 

1.

 

Remove rain funnel (pull flat side firmly upward). 

2.

 

Gently remove debris or insects inside the rain sensor. 

3.

 

Clear debris from drain vents. 

4.

 

Clear debris from the rain funnel. 

5.

 

Reinstall the rain funnel. 

Note: Do not oil the rain sensor. 

MOUNTING: WHERE DO I MOUNT/POSITION MY SENSORS? 

First, set everything up in the house to be sure it works before mounting the sensors 

outside.
