Care & Maintenance
Display Unit Care
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives. Keep away
from dust, dirt and moisture. Clean ventilation ports regularly with a gentle puff of air.
5-in-1 Sensor Care
Clean the Sensor
Clean with a soft damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives that will mar the
polished surfaces of the rain collection funnel or the solar cell. Scratches will result in
decreased performance and reliability.
Insect Prevention
Insects may cause obstructions and interrupt data by nesting in or on the 5-in-1 sensor.
To limit this problem, spray the OUTSIDE of the sensor with a household insect repellent.
Consult the insect repellent instructions prior to use.
Snow & Freezing Weather
The 5-in-1 sensor will not be damaged by freezing conditions. NOTE: If the rain collec-
tor cup fills with snow and then melts, it will register as rain on the display unit.
Clean the Rain Collector Cup
Remove and empty rain collector debris filter. The debris filter is located in the rain col-
lector funnel. Remove from the top by gently squeezing and pulling out.
Clean the Wind Vane & Anemometer
Remove foreign matter from the outside of the sensor for free movement of the wind
vane and anemometer. If needed, use a small amount of spray lubricant, clear silicone
or graphite powder on the anemometer for improved movement.
Calibration
The indoor / outdoor temperature and humidity readings, and barometric
pressure can be calibrated on the display unit to improve accuracy. Calibration
can improve accuracy when sensor placement or environmental factors impact
the data accuracy.
1. To access calibration mode, press AND HOLD the “
T
“ and “
V
“ buttons
simultaneously for at least 5 seconds.
2. To adjust the currently selected (flashing) item, press and release the “
T
“
or “
V
“ buttons to calibrate the data value higher or lower from the actual
reading.
3. To save your adjustments, press and release the “SET” button to adjust the
next preference. The “ ” icon will remain illuminated next to calibrated
values.
The preference set order is as follows:
