      Jennifer WestAug 6, 2025
      If your ACU-RITE Weather Station is registering rainfall when there's no rain, ensure the rain collector is securely mounted on a solid, level surface, away from obstructions. Also, make sure you're using standard alkaline batteries, not heavy-duty or rechargeable ones.

    How to fix no rainfall reading (dashes) on ACU-RITE Rain Gauge?

      Joseph ForbesAug 13, 2025
      If your ACU-RITE Weather Station display shows dashes for rainfall, it means the display unit and rainfall collector aren't synchronized. Try these steps: * Relocate the display unit and/or the rainfall collector, ensuring they are within 100 ft (30 m) of each other and at least 3 feet (0.9 m) away from electronics like TVs or microwaves. * Use standard alkaline batteries, avoiding heavy-duty or rechargeable ones. * Reset the units by bringing them indoors, removing batteries from both, reinstalling batteries in the rain collector first, then the display unit, and letting them sit close together for 20 minutes.

      If your ACU-RITE Weather Station display shows zeroes for rainfall, remove the rain collector cover and check if the tipping lever flips back and forth easily. Try manually tipping it to see if it registers as rain. If not, try resetting the units.
