Not recording rainfall at all. I know it's not rained since 22 March, but my
standard gauge has recorded a little for the last 3 days.
Have experimented with trickling some water in, but nothing!
Any helpers out there who can provide a clear non-technical solution?
Thanks in advance.


I assume it's a tipping bucket gauge like my WMII, unless you have a
connection problem or break in the wire it may need it's reed switch
replacing. You can pick these up quite cheaply from RS Component's. I
have a couple of spares and the RS Part No. is 229-3670

If you want advice on how to replace it, please ask, you will need a
soldering iron. It took me about 3 attempts as I'm a bit of a fumble
fingers, but if I can do it, anyone can :-)

I hope this helps.
