Page 19: Mounting
4. Mounting Before proceeding with the outdoor mounting detailed in this section, you should keep the assembled outdoor sensor package nearby (preferably not closer to 5 ft. from the gateway). This will make troubleshooting and adjustments easier and avoid any distance or interference-related issues from the setup. - Page 20 Figure 10 Insert the 15 bird spikes into the hole of the WH40H's rain bucket funnel toward the knurling end downward. You should wear gloves when inserting the bird spikes to avoid the hurt to your fingers.
- Page 21 Figure 11 Note： The bird spikes are designed to drive the birds away. You can decide to install them as needed.
- Page 22 Figure 12 Note： Use the bubble level beside the rain sensor as a guide to verify that the sensor is leveled.

Page 24: Best Practices For Wireless Communication
5. Best Practices for Wireless Communication Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls, and metal barriers. For trouble-free wireless communication, we recommend the following best practices. Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Keep the console several feet away from computer monitors and TVs. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). -

Page 28: Ws69/Wh40H Rain Gauge Accuracy Issue Check Listing
Suppose you own ecowitt rain gauge sensors, including traditional and piezoelectric sensors. The Ecowitt and WSView Plus apps can display the conventional and piezoelectric rain gauge sensor data. However, the console can only display one kind of rain gauge sensor data. - Page 29 (0.254mm for WS69, 0.1mm for WH40H), the tipping bucket loses balance and tips over. Each time it tips, it triggers a switch, activating the circuit to send a pulse signal to the recorder, which records the rainfall amount. This process repeats, allowing for accurate rainfall measurement.
- Page 30 Listen for a slight ringing sound and observe if the rainfall measurement in the app increases by 0.1mm (WS69 for 0.2mm, WH40H for 0.1mm). Proper operation indicates normal functioning. Avoid pouring water quickly to prevent the tipping bucket from malfunctioning.
