Care & Maintenance

Display Care

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives. Keep away from dust, dirt and moisture. Clean ventilation ports regularly with a gentle puff of air.

5-in-1 Sensor Care

Clean the Sensor

Clean with a soft damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives that will mar the polished surfaces of the rain collection funnel or the solar cell. Scratches will result in decreased performance and reliability.

Insect Prevention

Insects may cause obstructions and interrupt data by nesting in or on the 5-in-1 sensor. To limit this problem, spray sensor with a household insect repellent. Consult the insect repellent instructions prior to use.

Snow & Freezing Weather

The 5-in-1 sensor will not be damaged by freezing conditions. NOTE: If the rain collector cup lls with snow and then melts, it will register as rain on the display.

Clean the Rain Collector Cup

Remove and empty rain collector debris lter. The debris lter is located in the rain collector funnel. Remove from the top by gently squeezing and pulling out.

Clean the Wind Vane & Anemometer

Remove foreign matter from the outside of the sensor for free movement of the wind vane and anemometer. If needed, use a small amount of spray lubricant, clear silicone or graphite powder on the anemometer for improved movement.

Calibration

The indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity readings, and barometric pressure can be calibrated on the display to improve accuracy. Calibration can improve accuracy when sensor placement or environmental factors impact the data accuracy.

1. To access calibration mode, press AND HOLD the “ simultaneously for at least 5 seconds.

2. To adjust the currently selected (ashing) item, press and release the “ “ or “ “ buttons to calibrate the data value higher or lower from the actual reading.

3. To save your adjustments, press and release the “ ” button to adjust the next

Calibrate the Rain Gauge

The rain gauge on the 5-in-1 sensor can be calibrated to improve accuracy. Items Needed: 5-in-1 sensor, display, plastic cup, pin, screw driver

1. First, ensure 5-in-1 sensor is perfectly level using built-in bubble level.

2. Place display close so you can monitor it during calibration.

3. Make a pin hole in the bottom of a plastic cup. Hold the cup over the rain gauge

and ll it with exactly 240mL (8 oz) of water, allowing the water to drip into the rain gauge. You should hear the internal buckets tip and see water drain through the rain

gauge.

4. A few seconds after each bucket tip, the display displays rainfall in approximately

.25 mm (0.01”) or more increments.

5. The cup of water should take more than 20 minutes to empty; a quicker period will

result in inaccurate calibration. Try to simulate a normal steady rainfall. When cup is empty of water, display should register 27 mm (1.06”).

Tips

• There should be nearly an equal number of water drops (about 25 water drops)

between bucket tips. If not, adjust the calibration screws on the bottom of the 5-in-1 sensor until an equal number of water drops are tipping the buckets. Then, restart the calibration procedure.

• If you don’t hear the buckets tipping and see water dripping alternately out of

each drain, there may be an issue with the rain gauge or it’s adjustment. See Troubleshooting on page 18.

Adjustment

If the rain gauge doesn’t register close to 27 mm (1.06”), make an EQUAL adjustment to the two calibration screws on the bottom of the 5-in-1 sensor. Turning screws clockwise increases rainfall; counter clockwise decreases rainfall.

• To adjust the rainfall reading by 2% turn both screws 1/8 of a turn.

• To adjust the rainfall reading by 4% turn both screws 1/4 of a turn.

• To adjust the rainfall reading by 8% turn both screws 1/2 of a turn.
