WS 1081 Rainfall problem

[Scissorshifter]

Installed a WS 1081 with u/v sensor about 2 weeks ago and am getting totally crazy rainfall readings e.g. 1509mm as today's readings and 11537mm for yesterday, monthly readings are of biblical proportions with around 75000mm recorded so far, the true readings should be in single figures, the station is rock steady and Easyweather is showing accurate rainfall. Is there anything obvious that I should be looking at ??.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

You say your station has a UV sensor, so presumably you have selected a station type of 'Fine Offset with UV/Light sensor'? Are you sure your station has solar sensors? I don't think that model does. If you select the wrong station type, you will get garbage data when data is read from the station logger when Cumulus starts.
