2.Press the SET button, column “0” will flash, and the rainfall measurement value is displayed directly under the bar graph.

3.Press the CH/+ button to toggle through columns “0” to “7.”

4.While column “7” is flashing press the CH/+ button to exit this mode.

The rainfall quantities can be displayed 4 different ways, represented by 4 different time period icons, and measured in 2 different units of measure (inches or millimeters). The quantities are displayed in the lower portion of LCD 5, and the time period icons appear between the quantity and the bar graph.

1.While in normal viewing mode, press the “RAIN” key once. The current selected period will flash (“TOTAL”, “1H, “24H”, or the rain icon).

2.Press the “+” key to toggle through the selections. Following is a list of the 4 time period icons and a description of what they represent.

“TOTAL”—(the default setting) shows the total accumulated rainfall since the last set-up or manual reset.

“1h”—shows the rainfall measurement of the past hour. Information is updated every hour on the half-hour (i.e. …at 6:30, at 7:30 and at 8:30…).

“24h”—shows the measured rainfall of the last 24-hour period. Updates are made daily at 7:00 am.
