Rain readings 

 

For all measurements, it is important time and date are set correctly on your weather station.

 

  

  1-HOUR RAIN: The 1-hour rain reflects rain that has fallen from current time and back 1-hour. The 

hour is not a fixed clock time measurement. 

It is literally an ongoing “last 60 minutes” timer.   

  24-HOUR RAIN: The 24-hour rain reflects the rain that has fallen from current time and back 24-

hours. This is not a midnight-to-midnight measurement. The day is not a fixed clock time 
measurement. It is literally an ongoing “last 24 hours” timer.  

  YESTERDAY: This reflects the rain that has fallen from midnight to 23:59. This is a midnight-to-

midnight measurement. The day is a fixed clock time measurement.    

  WEEKLY RAIN: The amount of rainfall from the previous week. The week is midnight Sunday to 

midnight Saturday.  

 

MONTHLY RAIN: Monthly rain reflects the previous month’s rain and will update 12AM the first day of 
the month.

  Check that the pin the rocker tips on is all the way to the back and that the rocker tips freely. 

  Check the funnel and the inside of the rain transmitter for insect nests or debris that may cause loss 

of rocker motion. 

  Check for proper battery installation. 

  Check the battery cover is on firmly. 

  Mount the rain transmitter level and check that the mounting screws are not too tight (most common 

issue). 

  Use the eraser end of a pencil to manually tip the rocker of the rain transmitter 10 times (five each 

way).  

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

  Check the Total Rain on the weather station for a reading.

 Rain reads dashes 

 

  The weather station and rain transmitter are not connected. 

  Complete a 

factory restart

.  

  Check that the Wind and Temperature are still working. If Wind and Temperature are not working 

then it may be a weather station issue. 

 

Distance/Resistance

 can cause loss of transmitter signal.  

  Check 

batteries

 in the rain transmitter and the weather station. This is our primary warranty issue. 

  Orient the weather station 90 degrees towards the rain transmitter for better reception.
