Trouble Shooting
Problem Solution
I am not receiving any outside data. Check that batteries in both units are fresh and fully charged.
Alkaline batteries slow down and freeze in colder temperatures
which leads to signal dropouts so we recommend Lithium batteries
in colder climates. Also avoid rechargeable batteries as many are
1.2V (standard 1.5V required) and they also leak their peak charge
quickly even if they are 1.5V.
Put the batteries in the receiver last to force a proper resync.
Check that the transmitter is not out of range. Test this by taking
the receiver closer to the transmitter, remove and reinsert the
batteries and wait for a few minutes to see whether the signal is
picked up.
Check for sources of interference (cordless phones, baby monitors,
PC monitors etc). If this is an issue the console and/or transmitter
will need to be relocated.
If none of these is causing the problem you may have a faulty
transmitter.
My wind speed appears to be under
reporting. When set to Average, wind speed is measured as the average speed
recorded over the 48 second period between transmissions. In
gusty weather this can appear as though it is under reading. Set
this to Gust (see Wind section above) to view the maximum wind
speed during each 48 second period.
My rain gauge is under reporting
rainfall or not recording it at all. Remove the cover from the rain gauge and check for spider webs etc
that may be impeding the tipper’s motion. Tip the tipper back and
forth, each tip should register as 0.3mm on the console if it is
operating correctly (remember the transmission interval is every 48
seconds so allow sufficient time for the console to register the tips).
My rain gauge is over reporting
rainfall. On rare occasions wind can enter the rain gauge from underneath
and cause the rain gauge’s tipper mechanism to tip and register false
rain readings. In this case mount the rain gauge on a flat surface or
mount a plastic plate under the rain gauge to prevent the wind
entering. Insecurely mounted sensor trees can also sway in strong
winds and cause false rain readings.
