CLEANING
The main unit and outer casings for the remote sensors can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Small parts can be
cleaned with a cotton tip or pipe-cleaner. Never use any abrasive cleaning agents and solvents. Do not immerse any
units with electronic parts in water or under running water.
ANEMOMETER
Check that the wind vane and wind cups can spin freely and are free from dirt, debris or spider webs.
RAIN GAUGE
• Like all rain gauges, the rain sensor is prone to blockages due to its funnel shape. Checking and cleaning the rain
sensor from time to time will maintain the accuracy of rain measurements.
• Detach the protective screen and lid. Remove any dirt, leaves or debris by cleaning the items with soapy water and
a damp cloth. Clean small holes and parts with a cotton tips or pipe-cleaner.
• Look out for spiders or insects that might have crawled into the funnel.
• Also clean the swinging mechanism with a damp cloth.
