My wind
speed
appears to
be under
reporting.
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.
My rain
gauge is
under
reporting
rainfall or
not
recording
it at all.
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).
My rain
gauge is
over
reporting
rainfall.
Insecurely mounted sensor trees can also sway in strong winds and
cause false rain readings.
