RAIN SENSOR
SETTING UP:
IMPORTANT: Make sure to observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries. The
"+" markings on the batteries must line up with the diagrams inside the battery
compartments. Inserting the batteries incorrectly may result in permanent damage
to the units. During the setup process, place the wireless display and the outdoor
sensors on a surface with 3-10 feet between the sensors and the display. Only use
Alkaline Batteries, rechargeable batteries may not work.
1. It is important to allow sufficient light to reach the solar panel
while activating the wind sensor. Make sure the lights are on in
the setup room and the solar panel is facing a 60W light bulb or
brighter - do not cover with hands or other objects. Remove the
black protective foil on the solar panel and use the provided
plastic reset rod to gently press the reset button once in the hole
on the bottom of the sensor.
2. Insert two "AA" size batteries into the rain sensor with the correct
polarity.
3. Insert two "C" size batteries into the thermo-hygro sensor with the correct polarity.
4. Insert three "C" size batteries into the wireless display with the correct polarity.
NOTE: Every time the wireless display receives data from the sensors, the
wireless icons
was successful. A wind speed or rainfall amount that reads "0" does not mean
reception failure, it means that there was no wind or rain at the time of the last
measurement. The thermo-hygro sensor syncs with the wind and rain sensors
and sends all outdoor sensor data to the display. The thermo-hygro sensor tries
for 4 minutes to sync to the wind sensor and then 4 minutes for the rain sensor.
If not successful within 4 minutes, the thermo-hygro sensor will stop looking for
the other sensors.
5. Setup troubleshooting: If the sensor data fails to display for any of the outdoor
sensors within 10 minutes, ("- - -" is displayed), remove the batteries from all
units for 1 minute and start the Setup procedure again at Step 1.
MOUNTING THE SENSORS AND PLACEMENT OF THE WIRELESS DISPLAY:
Self-emptying bucket
Transmission range: over 200 feet (Open field, free of
obstructions)
will blink once and then return to solid if the last transmission
