Suspected Rain
Measurement
Inaccuracy
If you suspect the rainfall measurement is
not accurate, make certain the rain collector
batteries are fresh.
Check that the collector is mounted to a
level surface and that no foreign debris or
plant matter is preventing the flow of rainfall
into the collector. See “Care Instructions.”
Make certain that the internal tipping bucket
is allowed to move freely and is not obstructed
by any foreign objects or debris.
