Trouble Shooting

Problem

I am not receiving any outside data.

My wind speed appears to be under

reporting.

My rain gauge is under reporting

rainfall or not recording it at all.

My rain gauge is over reporting

rainfall.

Solution

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.

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.

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

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.
