3. Carefully remove the stainless-steel mesh screen from the filter tube.

4. Gently clean mesh screen.

5. Place mesh screen back in filter tube.

6. Place funnel filter in the funnel.

7. Screw on the end cap.

9.1.2 Internal lithium battery

An internal lithium coin cell battery powers the RainVUE-series during power loss of the main
12 V power source. The battery allows the RainVUE-series to capture rain events for 12 to 15 days
depending on battery age, temperature, and frequency of rain detections and SDI-12
measurement request.

The

M1!

and

IM1_005!

SDI-12 commands report the lithium battery voltage (see

Table 8-1

[p.

16] and

Table 8-3

[p. 20]). Replace the battery when voltage is approximately 2.7 VDC.

Campbell Scientific recommends replacing the battery every two to three years and after each
loss of power event. High temperatures can reduce the battery life, and low temperatures can
decrease battery capacity, lowering available power and sensor runtime.

Remove the backup battery when the sensor is removed from service. Replace the battery when
the RainVUE-series is placed back in service.
