Hi
Not a cumulus question, is it safe to unplug the rain gauge to test the reed switch with the ISS still powered up?

Thanks

fastbysuzuki

Will get back to you with the findings when I get to the iss

fastbysuzuki

due to the winds and the position i was only able to look standing on the observation deck the iss is on a roof above i could not see any obvious damage i will have to wait for a decent day to get up there.
the console daily rain was showing 800.2 mm

Hi Steve

please find attached the diags as requested.
today 12-48 i telephoned the station and was told the daily rain reading on the console was 800.2 mm

Today's rain reading are as attachment.
Steve I will attach Diags but as the station is remote will perhaps take a day or two as I have family visiting this weekend will get them to you ASAP .
Thanks.

hi
whilst it is raining hard now we have not had much rain before the screen shot was taken 15-00 any ideas why the readings are that high?
This is after the 94 mph gust wednesday.

Rainfall rate 0.0 mm/hr Rainfall Today 197.2 mm Rainfall Last Hour 0.0 mm Rainfall This Month 3784.4...

Just after I posed I saw rain rate on the site so that's working when I get the opportunity I will climb up taking a multimeter and re-check the reed switch but this time disconnecting the plug first.
Thanks for the info.

Hi I am not getting a rain rate reading at least I have not seen one for a while. In the records the rain hour rate was in December 4th at 50.6 this was due to me, I was not getting any rain readings at all so I climbed onto the roof took the rain collector off the wind hit the tipping bucket and op...

Possibly the shaft has locked up and the wind gust have spun the cups off the shaft same with the arm.

Hi Steve
yes you were correct with the datalogger time set to 30 minutes and the station settings to 10 minutes ( i had read somewhere that the default time for the logger update in weatherlink was 10 minutes) and did not check that will teach me never assume anything.
