LTV-R2 Rain Sensor
Lets identify the parts of the rain sensor.
• Mount your rain sensor in an open area for a more accurate rain count.
• Placing the rain sensor on the ground provides the most accurate rainfall measurement as there is no
wind shear. Unfortunately, since insects think of rain sensors as personal hotels, placing your sensor
3-6 feet above ground may deter the insects.
• This is a self-emptying sensor, but be sure your unit is not sitting in a depression that would prevent
rain from draining out of the bottom
• Your rain sensor should be accessible to allow for periodic cleaning of leaves or other debris that may
clog the funnel.
• Install the Rain sensor on a level platform that is stationary and has a direct line of sight to your station.
• Insert mounting screws through the holes in the base of the rain sensor. Do not over tighten.
• Use the bubble level inside your sensor to be sure it is level.
• Avoid other wireless rain sensors as this can cause inaccuracy due to signal interference.
• The maximum wireless transmission range to the rain station is over 400 feet (121 meters) in open air,
not including walls or floors.
