Instruction Manual
Rainfall Instrument
—Medallion Series—
Model #3050

Rainfall Instrument
-Medallion & Classic Series-
The rain collector sends a signal to the rainfall meter of .01 inch of
rain for every 'tip' of the rain mechanism located inside the rain
collector. There is no need to empty the rain bucket as it is self-
emptying. Freezing weather will not damage the collector, however
the readings will be inaccurate. Every few months, clean the
strainer of leaves and other debris to keep the readings accurate.
