SET UP REMOTE RAIN GAUGE

The rain gauge collects rain and takes readings of 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 effective range: about
100 meters (328 feet) in an open area.
The rain gauge should be mounted horizontally about 1 meter (2-3 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 sensor:
1. Remove screws and slide the cover up and insert the batteries (2 x UM-3 / AA),
matching the polarity (+ / -). Press RESET after each battery change.

2. Remove the tape.
3. Put a few drops of water on the cross at the base of the funnel to check the
horizontal level. 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.
4. 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.
