This may be taken as a silly question - but I presume you have inserted
the Metric Measurement Adapter into the tipping bucket mechanism on your
VP2?? They come (or mine did) with a 0.01" tip as standard. I you don't
insert it, each tip will be worth 0.254 mm but your console thinks it is
only 0.2 mm.

For a novice like me, there are no silly questions (possibly some silly
answers) but I have indeed installed the metric adapter, thanks.

As it happens the 5" gauge is in a good, unsheltered position, whereas the
AWS is more of a compromise (between where I'd like to have it, feasible
cable lengths, and my wife's opinion of its appearance).
