In addition to installation challenges, wind speed bearings (any
moving part) wears over time. To correct for wear, the
correction value can be increased until the wind cups must be
replaced.

Without a calibrated source, wind speed is a difficult parameter
to measure. We recommend using a calibrated wind meter and
constant, high speed fan.

Rain Calibration

In the calibration mode, press the

SET

button three times and

the rain value will flash (the default is 1.00).
Press the

C

key or

MAX/MIN/-

key to adjust the rain

calibration factor from 0.75 to 1.25, where:

Calibrated Rain = Calibration factor x Measured Rain

Press and hold the

C

or

MAX/MIN/-

key for three

seconds to increase or decrease rapidly.

Press the

ALARM

key to reset current value.

Discussion

: 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
