Precipitation Rate with no Precipitation (solved)

[johnn]

For no apparent reason my data uploaded to WU (from WRM200) shows a fairly constant Precipitation Rate (about 38.1mm), but there is no rain!

It may have been triggered by a single count, but if so it does not show in the data.

Is anyone aware of a configuration error that might contribute to something like this??

I might have a suggestion for you. My posts on this forum are in "Random wrong precipitation rate values" where I had the same type of issue.

My solution was simple and has worked perfectly since I made the adjustment below.

The erroneous posting of precipitation rate was resolved by decreasing the Rx Sensitivity of the setup from the -95 dB (default value) to -80dB.

Hope something like this works for you.

Pepe.

Thanks Pepe, but I don't think I have access to the Rx sensitivity.

I notice that I said I was using a WMR200, but that is wrong (I got my PWSs confused!). It is a WMR88.

Which Meteobridge release are you using? Did you check the release logs
if a newer release does fix this? http://meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Forum

OK, it may be before the 15th Nov, so I will have to get on site and check (haven't got remote access going yet!)

Thanks.

I have updated to the latest binary (as of the 25th) and it seems to be OK now.
Thanks
