4.6.3 SensorOperationVerification
The following steps verify proper operation of the sensors prior to installing the sensor array.
Verify proper operation of the rain gauge. Tip the sensor array back and forth several times.
You should hear a “clicking” sound within the rain gauge. Verify the rain reading on the
display console is not reading 0.00. Each “click” represents 0.01 inches of rainfall.
Verify proper operating of the wind speed. Rotate the wind cups manually or with a constant
speed fan. Verify the wind speed is not reading 0.0.
Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor temperature. Verify the indoor and outdoor
temperature match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about
10’apart). The worst case sensor accuracy should be within 4°F worst case (the accuracy is
±2°F). Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize.
Verify proper operation of the indoor and outdoor humidity. Verify the indoor and outdoor
humidity match closely with the console and sensor array in the same location (about
10’apart). The worst case sensor accuracy should be within 10% (the accuracy is ± 5%).
Allow about 30 minutes for both sensors to stabilize.
