Rain Readings
This detailed rain station offers rain readings with a corresponding cylinder graph.
Press and release the RAIN button to view different rain readings in the Rain Window:

CURRENT: This measures from the start of rainfall until there is no rain accumulation for 30
minutes. The display will reset to zero when no rain has fallen for 30 minutes.

1 HR: The rainfall accumulated in the last 1-hour increment. Resets to zero at the top of
each hour.
Example: If rain didn’t start until5:50, then 5:50 to 5:59 is considered within the 5:00 to
6:00 hour rain increment. The data from 6:00 to 7:00 will be the next hour.

24 HR: Based on the past 24 1-hour increments. This is a running total that changes hourly.

7 DAYS: Based on the last 7 24-hour readings. This is not a subject to the calendar. Be sure
time and date are set.

MONTH: Total rainfall from the first day of the month to last day of the month.

TOTAL: Total rainfall since powered on or reset.
Note: As time passes without rain, the 1 hour, 24 hour, and 7 day rain totals will count down to
zero.
