Maintenance

Under normal conditions, your WeatherBug Weather Station will require very little
maintenance. Most maintenance issues can be evaluated and diagnosed remotely by
WeatherBug Technical Support. All components are "Plug-and-Play" (defective sensors can
be removed simply by disconnecting them from the cable connections).
Check the Rain Gauge every three months or any time that readings appear to be lower than
they should be. Clear any debris clogging the inlet into the tipping bucket.
Looking down into the top of the Rain Gauge you will see that it is cup-shaped and, at the
bottom of the cup, there is a small hole. This hole must be totally clear for the gauge to be
able to measure rainfall accurately. Bamboo skewers or a similar instrument are excellent for
this task.
