moisture sources (see page 7).
temperature or
humidity • Make sure 5-in-1 sensor is mounted at least 5 ft off of
the ground.
• Calibrate indoor and outdoor temperature and
humidity (see page 11).
• Check to ensure the rain gauge stabilizer (plastic tab)
has been removed from the bottom of the sensor.
No rainfall
• Clear debris, such as leaves, out of the rain collector
funnel and debris screen.
• What is wind reading being compared to? Pro
weather stations are typically mounted at 30 ft high
or more. Make sure to compare data using a sensor
positioned at the same mounting height.
Inaccurate wind
• Check location of the sensor. Ensure itʼs mounted a
readings minimum of 5 ft in the air with no obstructions around
it (within several feet).
• Ensure wind cups are spinning freely. If they hesitate
