Maintance
1. Clean the rain gauge once every 3 months. Rotate the funnel
counter-clockwise and lift to expose the rain gauge mechanism, and clean
with a damp cloth. Remove any dirt, debris and insects. If bug infestation is
an issue, spray the array lightly with insecticide.
2.
Clean the solar panel every 3 months with damp cloth.
3.
Replace batteries every 1-2 years. If left in too long, the batteries may leak
due to environmental challenges. In harsh environments, inspect the
batteries every 3 months (when cleaning the solar panel).
4.
When replacing the batteries, apply a corrosion preventive compound on
the battery terminals, available at most hardware stores.
5.
In snowy environments, spray the top of the weather station with anti-icing
silicon spray to prevent snow build up.
PC Connection
As an important feature in addition to the display on the Touch Screen, the
Weather Station allows the read-out of all measured and displayed time and
weather data in form of complete history data sets on a PC.
Data Storage
For a comprehensive weather history, the Base Station allows the internal
storage of up to 4080 complete sets of weather data with time and date. The
base station will loose all weather data if an interruption of power supply. In case
the memory capacity of the Weather Station is exhausted the oldest data sets
stored will be overwritten by the new ones entered.
