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 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
Calibrate Temperature & Humidity
The indoor / outdoor temperature and humidity readings can be calibrated on the
display unit to improve accuracy. Calibration improves accuracy when 5-in-1 sensor
placement or environmental factors impact your data accuracy.
1. Choose the weather category you wish to calibrate by pressing the
“
▲
” or “
▼
”
buttons until the category is displayed on the Selectable Category part of the
display unit.
2. Press AND HOLD the
“
▲
” and “
▼
” buttons
and the
“SET”
button all at the
same time for 15-20 seconds.
• The display unit beeps, and all display data is hidden except for the value being
calibrated.
• “ ” (calibrate) and arrows appear next to the value being calibrated.
