MAINTAINANCE
Each sensor of this kit has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for
many years. It is better to do regular maintenance to keep the sensors with high
accuracy every half year. Do cleaning the casing only with a soft cloth slightly
dampened with water or a mild soap. Please use screw drivers or wrench to take
some parts off if necessary.
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic
equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using the main unit or doing
maintenance during storms.
TO MAINTAIN THE THERMO/HYGRO SENSOR
1. Remove the rain collector from the rain gauge.
2. Unscrew the three type B screws from the rain gauge.
3. Unscrew the three screws from the bottom of
the thermo/hygro sensor casing.
4. Clean the casing excluding the one with sensor
by water, and then remove the dust around the
sensor carefully.
5. Install all the parts until they are entirely dried.
NOTE
If the temperature and humidity readings are
still strange and inaccurate, you need to consider
replacing this sensor, please contacting our customer service for the details.
