The La Crosse Technology C84428 rain gauge may not be working due to one or more of the following reasons:
1. Battery Issues – Ensure that the correct type and number of batteries (2-AA) are installed properly with the correct polarity. Avoid mixing old and new batteries or different battery types. 2. Transmission Range – The rain sensor has a transmission range of up to 400 feet in open air. If it is placed too far from the main station or obstructed by walls or interference, it may not communicate properly. 3. Update Interval – The rain sensor updates about every 45 seconds (or every 3 minutes if no change is detected). If no rainfall is occurring, it may appear unresponsive. 4. Sensor Placement and Mounting – Ensure the sensor is properly mounted and positioned according to the manual’s instructions. 5. Sensor Button Confirmation – Press and release the SENSOR button on the main station to confirm sensor connectivity. 6. Power Issues – If the main station is not powered correctly using the required 5V power cord or backup batteries (3-AA optional), it may not receive data.
Checking and addressing these factors should help resolve the issue.
