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 00 meters (328 feet)
in an open area.
The rain gauge should be mounted horizontally about
 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.
3. Remove the fibre tape.
To ensure a level plane:
Put a few drops of water on the cross at the base of the
funnel to check the horizontal level.
