NSTALLING THE
The instructions below will take you step-by-step through the procedure
required to install the Rain Collector Heater. Make sure the wall transformer is
unplugged until you are instructed to plug it in.
Attaching the Heater to the Rain Collector
1. Remove the Rain Collector's cone from the base and, if necessary, remove the mount-
ing screws from the base of the Rain Collector.
2. If screw holes for the Rain Collector Heater are not already present in the base, posi-
tion the heater as shown below (at the edge of the Davis logo imprinted on the base
with the terminal block facing away from the bucket) and mark the location of the
screw holes on the heater assembly.
Earlier versions of the Rain Collector did not come with built-in holes for the
Rain Collector Heater. If your Rain Collector does not have built-in holes
you need to drill them yourself following the instructions below. Otherwise,
skip to step 5.
3. Using a drill with a 5/32" (4mm) or a 3/16" (4.8 mm) drill bit, drill holes in the marked
locations.
4. Using a drill bit with a large enough diameter to allow your power cable to pass
through, drill a cable hole in approximately the position shown below.
For the provided 50' (15 m) cable, use a 9/32"" (7.2 mm) or a 5/16" (8 mm)
drill bit. The precise location of the power cable hole is not critical.
