Gently remove the rain collector. 3.Clean and remove any debris or insects. 4.Install the collector when it is clean and fully dried. REPLACE THE WIND VANE Unscrew and remove the wind vane for replacement REPLACE THE WIND CUP 1. Unscrew and remove the top cap 2.
Problems Temperature reading too high in the day time Some condensation beneath the UV sensor may occur overnight 10. 10.1 Solution 1. Place the sensor in open area and at least 1.5m off the ground. 2. Ensure that the sensor is placed away from heat generating sources or structures, such as buildings, pavement, walls or air conditioning units. This will disappear when temperature rises up under the sun and will not affect the performance of the unit.
