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. Slide the cover up and insert the batteries (2 x UM-
3 / AA), matching the polarity (+ / -).
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.
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.
