Do other users also has sporadic peak values occurring?

Once every 1-4 days I have peak values like for example 234km/h wind and on the same day 120mm rain.
Today another strange wind peak of 134km/h

I'm using a Davis 6410 anemometer and a Davis rain bucket

The rain and wind sensors are on the same Tx board so that's a clue maybe.

I will build in some checks into the software myself to prevent this but maybe there's a more simple solution...

Hello,

I don't know what could cause rainfall peaks. But with an anemometer it's quite common, so there is a choice in the RX unit software:

Code:

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//   Define use of Wind Gust Spike prevention routines (mostly for FO anemometers)
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#define WIND_SPIKECONTROL 1   // 0= Disable, 1= Enable

Maybe:???
The tipping rain gauge should not be mounted on a mast, but should have its own tripod with a height above the ground of about 1 m.
This is due to vibrations of the mast that can cause false readings of the amount of rain.

Good luck!

Thank you for your answer!
1. I should have searched the forum first before asking help...  
2. Seems like I have to use the spike control also for the Davis rain bucket.

(The bucket is standing on a solid shed, mounted onto a concrete tile so it's impossible that movement would take place.)
