‚ If the rain gauge is completely unsheltered in the
open field, this is by no means perfect. In this case,
the wind blows the precipitation over the gauge.
Therefore, a relatively sheltered location is reasonable.
Small bushes, shrubs, trees, garden fences, etc. are
therefore recommended.
Unsuitable locations
‚ Locations that are covered from above or too close to
a house wall are not suitable.
‚ Do not place the rain gauge directly on the ground.
High wind flow velocities near the ground cause
inaccurate measurements.
Other tips
‚ The rocker of the rain gauge is self-draining. The rain
gauge must therefore not be placed in a depression or
trough.
‚ Check whether the rain funnel is free of foliage and
the like on a regular basis.
‚ Do not use other similar devices in the vicinity of the
rain gauge to prevent signal interferences and thus
inaccuracies.
‚ Observe the maximum distance of 60 metres between
the base station and the rain gauge. This range can be
significantly reduced by reinforced concrete walls.
