6 Maintenance

The weather station itself does not need any regular maintenance to work all year round
without interruption, but for the normal operation is necessary:
 Rain sensor – clean the funnel, if full or dirty;
 Leaf wetness sensor – if dirty, clean it with a soft wet cloth. Be careful not to scratch
it;
 Solar panel – if dirty, clean it with a soft wet cloth. Be careful not to scratch it;
 If the pole or the sensors for rain, wind or temperature are tilted, set them up straight
– they should be vertical;
 If the soil around the soil temperature or moisture sensors gets cracked (e.g. due to
drought), compress it. IMPORTANT: There should be no air around those sensors;
 The soil moisture sensor provides correct readings
conditions. Replace it after this
 Monitor the battery level during winter. If it falls below 11.5 V, increase the data
transmission interval to 1 hour.
for about 2 years, depending on
