Weather Station Hardware > Rainwise Weather Stations
Welcome to Rainwise
Feelgood Ranch:
I agree with last post. I have never had the propeller on the RainWise ananenometer stop and the winds out here are pretty funky and variable, both in force and vector.
Station atop a 30 ft. mast and mast top with station sways a bit in high winds.

Hello Everyone... Well I received my Rainwise MK III on the 20th of April. Only issue I've had with it is the barometer readings. They are sending me a new mother board for the white box mounted on the pole.
I will say I've not noticed any significant difference between the peak gust on the Rainwise unit compared to the Maximum instrument I have. Rainwise meets right there with the peak gust as it happened with Maximum and that I'm very pleased about! \:D/
I was also concerned that the roof, albeit ours is not the 'traditional' real dark shingled roof, would make a big difference in the temperature readings. Just the other way around! I do notice there may be a slower 'cooling' period after the sun goes down, but nothing major. On the 'normal' day my readings are right in line with METAR stations around me!! =D>
One last thing... I like to see how people have not only their outdoor units but the indoor units as well! I'm attaching a photo of mine. Anyone care to share?

I went throught the same with the barometric pressure. The 'new' motherboard should fix the problem. The problem is related to the temperature compensation on the board. Evidently the new board addresses it well. One recommendation; when you go to replace the motherboard, you'll notice several connection to the board itself (much like a PC motherboard). Bring the station in-doors or a place where you can lay it horizontal. Bring the 'new' board along side and watch the connections as you unplug them. Unplug one and then immediately plug it in on the new board. That way you shouldn't lose track of where you are. Although the connectors are marked, I found this method to work for me.
A pic of my station is in my Avatar. I have 3 displays (one large multi and 2 small Oracles) Been with Rainwise since 1998 and I live the red LED especially at night. My Davis Vue is basically useless at night.
