Hopefully someone here can help me. I'm trying to get a LaCrosse rain fall gauge to work and I've followed the instructions a dozen times and can't get that last item to work.
My batteries register 1.6 volts each on my Fluke voltmeter. End to end they measure 3.2 volts. When I insert them into the rain fall gauge, with the + and - touching the bottom bridge connector, the voltage drops to 2.56 volts when touching the voltmeter probes to the tops. Is the drop due to working on a load or is there a short somewhere? Thanks.
