Reed switch install
« on: June 23, 2017, 05:15:28 PM »
My vantage pro2  (Used) isn't recording rainfall. I believe maybe the reed switch. I can order one but they look like the wires are soldered to the reed switch. Do wirer's already come soldered to the switch or is that something I will have to do. Thanks

its' likely something you will need to do
as even if you got one with wires re soldered, you would then need to somehow connect those wires to the existing wires (e.g solder)

I recommend putting a some sort of heat sink on the glass end when soldering the wire to the attachment stub
