Maintenance and
Troubleshooting
While the ADS ® RainAlert II

monitor and tipping bucket are
designed for dependability and durability, all electronic devices are
vulnerable to wear, malfunction, or failure, particularly when
certain components remain in an outdoor environment. However,
many system problems can be avoided altogether by performing
routine maintenance and inspections. The design of the monitor
enables the user to perform general diagnostics and troubleshooting
to prevent, isolate, and correct many problems easily. These serve
to minimize unnecessary monitor downtime and data loss.
This chapter provides routine maintenance instructions as well as
general diagnostic and troubleshooting guidelines for isolating and
correcting monitoring system problems.
Warning: Disconnect telephone service, when
applicable, at the network interface box before
disconnecting cables from the monitor lid. These activities
help prevent possible shock or injury to personnel as well
as damage to the equipment during service visits at the
monitor location.
