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 an adjustment. See Troubleshooting on page 21.
Adjustment
If the rain gauge doesn’t register close to 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; counterclockwise 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.
