Initial operation
If the sensor system has been completely mounted and electrically assembled, the sensor will be ready for
operation. An operational check has to be performed.
Maintenance and operational check
The precipitation sensor is nearly maintenance-free. The sensor should be checked and cleaned periodically in order
to guarantee its proper operation, because dirt accumulation may cause errors of measurement. The time interval of
cleaning depends on the local conditions.
The
operational check
of the sensor may be performed by the use of artificial precipitation. The volume of a 200 cm³
resp. 400 cm³ (by 4 cm³ buckets ) test container of water must be piped into the collecting funnel through a nozzle
in such a way that the drops fall into the funnel beside the outlet. The nozzle of the test container (approx. diameter
0.6 mm) should be adjusted to allow a complete water run out into the funnel within 10 to 12 minutes. After the artificial
precipitation has gone through, 100 ± 2 bucket tippings should have counted.
Rinse the sensor thoroughly for cleaning. Clinging particles of dirt in the collecting funnel or outlet pipe may be
removed with a piece of wood. If unsatisfying measurement results occur after this cleaning procedure, the tipping
bucket should be disassembled for cleaning.
Absolute care must be taken not to damage the tipping bucket!
The dismounted tipping bucket can be cleaned by placing it in warm water with some scouring material and by
carefully scraping off unwanted dirt by using a small piece of wood.
