Question: The cables won't reach. Can they be extended?

Answer:
No; to obtain accurate readings, customers must select a location within the 30 feet allowed by the cables supplied with the product. Weather data measurements have been calibrated at the factory during production using that cable length.

Question: How do I empty the rain gauge if I have installed it on the roof?

Answer:
The rain gauge is self-emptying; however, it's very important that it be mounted as close to "level" as possible. The product has a tipping bucket system, and unless it's level, the mechanism to dump the rain will not measure properly.
