Installing The Rain Collector - Davis Instruments Rain Collector II Installation Manual

Testing the Rain Collector II
If the rainfall amount displayed on the console increases by the expected increment
(either 0.01" or 0.2 mm) each time you tip the bucket, your rain collector is working
properly. If the display changes only after you tip the bucket several times, the rain
collector may be functioning correctly but you may have an older version of the
station console. See "Calibration of Older Model Weather Stations" on page 14 for
details.
