•
The best time to change the chip is at
the beginning of the most critical
time for watering (spring and fall in
the desert areas).
•
Clean the screen, on the tip of the
RH chip enclosure, every six (6)
months more often, if required. If
the screen gets dirty quickly, this
will reflect how often the chip will
need to be replaced.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
•
Inspect and clean, at least every 2 to
3 months and more often in extreme
environmental conditions.
CAUTION
Be careful of the thermister, as it is
very delicate.
•
Carefully clean insects and debris
from the temperature probe.
•
The temperature probe can NOT be
calibrated, so if the readings are
poor the complete probe must be
replaced.
•
After several years the
temperature/RH sensor may become
corroded and should be replaced.
NOTE !
Water will affect the
temperature readings, so be sure no
direct water is hitting the weather station
from sprinklers in the area.
SEAL OF ET ENCLOSURE
The seal on the panel assembly of the
Enclosure forms the seal between the
Enclosure cover and the Enclosure back
panel.
•
This seal should be inspected on a
regular basis, looking for cracks,
hardening of the foam rubber and/or
loosening from the back panel
assembly.
•
Any time the Enclosure is opened,
upon closing it the desiccant pack
should be replaced with a new
desiccant pack.
•
At least once a year the desiccant
pack should be replaced with a new
pack.
•
The Enclosure internal moisture
should be monitored. The desiccant
pack maintains a low humidity in the
enclosure an minimizes the chance of
condensation on the datalogger and
other electronic components.
•
The desiccant pack should be
changed when the internal Enclosure
humidity sensor measures 35% or
higher.
•
If the moisture level gets too high the
Enclosure should be opened and
dried out. The desiccant pack needs
to be replace with a new pack.
