Cleaning Your Rain Sensor
Winter Storage Options
• Leaves, grass, or other debris may need
to be removed periodically from the funnel
of your Rain Sensor.
• Be sure to check inside your Rain Sensor
as well. Insects or dirt can begin to restrict
the movement of the Rocker.
• Unlatch the Locking Tabs on the side
of the Rain Sensor to remove the Funnel.
This will allow you to easily clean each part
separately.
• Remove batteries and store in a safe place.
• Remove batteries and cover in place.
• Leave outside, uncovered. While the Rain
Sensor cannot accurately record snowfall,
when the snow melts the water will be
counted as rain.
• The Rain Sensor is self-emptying, so water
should not freeze inside.
