MOUNTING THE RAIN SENSOR
Funnel
portion
Base
portion
For accurate results, the rain sensor should be securely mounted onto
a horizontal surface about 2-3ft above the ground and in an open area
away from trees or other coverings where rainfall may be reduced
causing inaccurate readings.
When securing into place, check that rain excess will not collect and
store at the base of the unit but can flow out between the base and the
mounting surface (test by pouring clean water).
After mounting the rain sensor, connect the cable to the thermo-hygro
sensor at the corresponding socket so power supply can be received
and data be transmitted to the base station
The rain sensor is now operable. For testing purposes, very slowly
pour a small amount of clean water into the rain sensor funnel. The
water will act as rainfall and will be received and displayed at the base
