| 2016-08-12 | 65560-615 | TE525MM | Installed | Precipitation | Installed with the initial set up of the site. |
| 2018-10-18 | 65560-615 | TE525MM | Calibration | Precipitation | Got 90 of 100 tips. Adjusted screws a total of 2.5 turns CW. 2018-10-18: Got 90 tips and adjusted screws 1 turn CW. 2018-11-01: Got 91 tips and adjusted screws 2 turns CCW accidentally (should have been CW). 2018-12-13: Got 86 tips and adjusted screws 4.5 turns CW. 2018-12-18: Got 107 tips and adjusted screws 1 turn CCW. |
| 2019-10-22 | 65560-615 | TE525MM | Calibration | Precipitation | After cleaning the tipping bucket we connected it to a CR23x and dripped 475ml of water through the bucket which should result in 100 tips. We got 103 tips – no adjustment needed. |
| 2020-11-19 | 65560-615 | TE525MM | Tested | Precipitation | After cleaning the tipping bucket we connected it to a CR23x and dripped 475ml of water through the bucket which should result in 100 tips. We got 106 tips. We will retest with better water metering system |
| 2021-10-21 | 65560-615 | TE525MM | Tested | Precipitation | We dripped 240ml of water through the bucket using a peristaltic pump powered with a lithium battery. This should result in 50 tips in about 20 minutes. We got 54 tips and adjusted its set screws 1.5 turns CCW (1/2 turn of both screws is a 2-3% adjustment). |
| 2021-11-18 | 65560-615 | TE525MM | Calibration | Precipitation | We dripped 240ml of water through the bucket using a peristaltic pump powered with a lithium battery. This should result in 50 tips in about 20 minutes. We got 52 tips and I adjusted both set screws 1 turn CCW. |
| 2021-12-01 | 65560-615 | TE525MM | Tested | Precipitation | We dripped 240ml of water through the bucket using a peristaltic pump powered with a lithium battery. This should result in 50 tips in about 20 minutes. We got 50 tips so this bucket is good to go until next year. |
