: The rain collector is calibrated at the factory
based on the funnel diameter. The bucket tips every 0.01” of
rain (referred to as resolution). The accumulated rainfall can
be compared to a sight glass rain gauge with an aperture of at
least 4”.
Note:
that debris and insects can collect inside the tipping
mechanism (they make a good spiders nest). Carefully remove
the funnel and inspect the tipping mechanism for debris prior
to calibration.
