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 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.
RAIN HIGH: 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 station six feet from cordless phones or wireless routers etc.

Compare these tests. If they still read high then contact support.
HOW CAN I CLEAN THE RAIN SENSOR?
1.
Remove rain funnel (open locking tabs on both sides and pull off funnel)
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.
NO FOR TEMPERATURE
•
If either sensor loses connection, the station will show NO after 30 minutes of no reception.
•
The station will automatically search for 3 minutes every hour to try and reestablish the
sensor connection.
•
To manually search for both sensors, hold the PLUS (+) button until the Reception Icon
begins to flash. Dashes will show while searching.
•
My first thought is always to check that my
are good. If it has been working and
now is not, low batteries are the most common connection problem.
•
distance, resistance and interference
. If everything was working previously
at the same location, this is likely not the issue. However sometimes there is new growth on
trees or bushes that causing another barrier. Radio Frequency (RF) signal does not travel
well through foliage due to the moisture content.
