SET UP RAIN GAUGE
The rain gauge collects rain and takes readings of rainfall
rate and the total rainfall over a period of time. The sensor
can remotely transmit data to the base station.
The base station and rain gauge should be positioned
within an effective range: about 100 meters (328 feet)
in an open area.
The rain gauge should be mounted horizontally about 1
meter (3 feet) from the ground in an open area away from
trees or other obstructions to allow rain to fall naturally
for an accurate reading.
To set up the Rain Gauge:
1. Remove screws and slide the cover off in an upwards
motion.
2. Insert the batteries (2 x UM-3 / AA), matching the
polarities (+ / -). Press
RESET after each battery
change.
Water will pool to the center of the cross when the rain
gauge is level.
If water remains on 1-4, the gauge is not horizontal.
If necessary, adjust the level using the screw.
NOTE For best results, ensure the base is horizontal to
allow maximum drainage of any collected rain.
