| 2015-06-25 | 40415-1006 | TR-5251 | Installed | Precipitation | Installed on a post along the boardwalk to the tower at Mayberry. |
| 2018-10-25 | 40415-1006 | TR-5251 | Tested | Precipitation | Repaired chewed cable and tested with 475ml water. Got 100 tips. Did not adjust set screws. |
| 2019-10-22 | 40415-1006 | TR-5251 | Calibration | Precipitation | Initially, the ground wire at the data logger was broken. After cleaning the tipping bucket we connected it to a CR23x and dripped 475ml of water through the bucket which should result in 100tips. We got 109 tips. We turned its set screw to full rotations CCW. Retest on 10-31 got 102 tips - good enough. |
| 2021-06-22 | 40415-1006 | TR-5251 | Removed | Precipitation | Removed from MB and brought back to the lab for repair. It had lots of tips even though there hasn't been any rain, probably because the spliced area of the cable was underwater. |
| 2021-07-06 | 40415-1006 | TR-5251 | Installed | Precipitation | Installed at MB again after replacing the cable in the lab. |
| 2021-10-21 | 40415-1006 | TR-5251 | 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). |
| 2021-11-04 | 40415-1006 | TR-5251 | Adjusted | Precipitation | Tested tipping bucket - got 53/50 tips. Adjusted screws 1/2 turn out (CCW). |
