Twist off the rain collector cone.
3. On your console screen, look for DAILY RAIN display.
4. While watching the daily rain display, slowly tip the bucket mechanism until it drops
to opposite side. Each tip indicates 0.01" of rain and takes up to 10 seconds to register
at the console. If the number doesn't change, you may be tipping the bucket too
quickly. Try again, more slowly this time.
5. You can put the rain collector cone back on temporarily, but you will need to remove it
again before mounting.

HOOSING A
Try to position your ISS as follows:
At least 5' (1.5 m) away from sources of heat such as chimneys and exhaust vents.
Avoid placing it near any space that heats up a lot during the day.
At least 5' (1.5 m) above the ground.
Avoid locating it in an area that is prone to precipitation runoff — look out for
trees and nearby buildings.
If you have a wireless model, or if you have the Vantage Pro Plus, look for a loca-
tion with good sun exposure throughout the day.
Mount the anemometer at least 4' (1.2 m) above the roofline for more accurate
wind readings.
Note: For roof mounting, and for ease of installation in other locations, we recommend using the
optional Mounting Tripod #7716.
