6. 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 Quick Display Mode

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 register the tips).

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.
