Problem with outside rain collector.

Rain collector unit stopped transmitting to base. Cleaned with water, and installed new batteries, but still will not record and transmit rainfall.

We apologize that your rain gauge has disconnected from the display, but we would be happy to assist! Sometimes when replacing batteries, a hard reset may need to be performed. Please follow the steps carefully as the order is crucial to the success of the reset. Hard Reset: 1. Bring both the sensor and display unit together and remove batteries from the outdoor sensor. Make sure that the Wireless Reception Indicator on the display drops to zero bars to ensure that your display was connected to the correct sensor. (If your wireless reception indicator already indicates zero bars, please proceed to Step #2.) NOTE: If your display unit continues to show a strong connection, there is another sensor in your area that your display is connecting to (either a neighbor's or from another of your AcuRite units). If you have multiple sensors, make sure to use a different ABC channel on each. 2. Remove the batteries and/or power adapter from the display unit. 3. Change the A-B-C setting on both units to a new, matching channel then press and hold the reset button in the battery compartment of the display for 20 seconds, if applicable. 4. Reinstall the batteries in the outdoor sensor. 5. Reinstall batteries and/or power cord into the display unit then immediately press and hold the reset button again for 20 seconds, if applicable. 6. Let the units sit within a couple of feet of each other for approximately 5 minutes or until you see a solid sensor signal. If this does not correct the issue, please reach out to our support team via live chat or email request for further assistance.

The unit works well but this is the 3rd gauge I had to purchase from you company. The exterior unit always fails to stop sending out a signal after a few years. I guess this is your plan obsolesce.

The molded plastic collection funnel that directs rain into the measuring device is flimsy and the tabs that secure it will break if subjected to any strain (such as the wind, that brings the rain, blowing on it). The idea may be sound but, the pennies you saved on plastic, doom this product to the trash bin.

I haven't had this item very long, so unable to comment for long time usage. As of now, it works great. Especially like not having to go out and empty the water out of it. Nothing to do with the item itself, but my fence leans a little, so trying to get the unit as close to level as possible, took a little bit to complete. If there was a base that can be raised if needed to help level it out a lot better, I would be interested it that also

It works great. Easy to read. It lets me know that it rained even when I did not know.

How disappointed I was after setting this up. I realised that when starting up, it is not possible to enter historical data for the past week, month or year to date. If the battery needs replacing, all data is lost. This is truly a very basic model .. would so easily have been made better by having a USB charging port and the ability to edit entries.

I purchased this product based on one of your remote thermometers I've used for years (and it's still working!).
Like the easy access to sending unit batteries.

I like that I can look back at yesterday's rain fall. Would like receiving unit to also show rain fall for two, three or more days ago. My old Oregon unit would, but theirs does not any more. Only the last 7 days. That is why I purchased yours.
Well worth the money

I have had several acu-rite rain gauges, and have always been happy with them.
Probably not

Had buy the complete set when I just needed to replace the collector as base station works just fine. Seems like you can get replacement parts for almost every thing but not this collector. Seems pretty bad to me.

I calibrated the gauge upon arrival. I would like to see real time information rather than waiting 5 minutes between downloads.

The base does not work, it is synced okay but no read out. fortunately I had the old base and it does now work with the outside gauge.

Very difficult to calibrate. Amount recorded does not agree with my other rain gauge. Very very disappointed that it cannot cope with freezing temperatures.
