Installation Tips

  • Power Down: Disconnect the console and/or WeatherLink Live from AC power and remove batteries to prevent recording erroneous data during maintenance.

  • Wind Speed Cartridge: Use the Allen wrench to replace the wind speed cartridge. Check the shaft for smooth rotation and avoid using lubricants.

  • Rain Mechanism: Carefully remove the rain collector cone and replace the rain mechanism without scratching its surface. Clean the debris screen and funnel with a pipe cleaner to ensure clear drainage.

  • Debris Screen: Install the new debris screen to prevent leaves and dirt from clogging the rain collector.

  • Battery Replacement: Replace the lithium battery and test the old battery with a voltmeter (replace if below 2.8 volts).

  • Workspace: Perform maintenance in a clean, well-lit area. Dismount the sensor suite if mounted high for easier access.

  • Calibration: After installation, verify rainfall calibration by slowly dripping 100 ml of water over 15 minutes into the rain collector to simulate 0.5 inches (US) or 1.2 cm (metric).
