4.6.3 Sensor Operation Verification

The following steps verify proper operation of the sensors prior to installing the sensor array.

Verify proper operation of the rain gauge. Tip the sensor array back and forth several times.


Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor temperature. Verify the indoor and outdoor
temperature match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about
10'apart). The worst case sensor accuracy should be within 4°F worst case (the accuracy is
