REMOTE SENSOR
To set up the sensor:
1. Open the battery compartment (see FIG 3).
2. Select Channel 1 then press RESET.
3. Close the battery door.
4. Place the sensor within 30 m (98 ft) of the main unit
using the table stand or wall mount.
TIP Ideal placements for the sensor would be in any
location on the exterior of the home at a height of not
more than 1.5 m (5 ft) and which can shield it from direct
sunlight or wet conditions for an accurate reading.

IN COLLECTOR SETUP
SET UP RAIN GAUGE
The rain gauge collects rain and takes readings of
rainfall rate and the total rainfall over a period of time.
The sensor can remotely transmit data to the base
station.
The base station and rain gauge should be positioned
within an effective range: about 100 meters (328 feet)
in an open area.
The rain gauge should be mounted horizontally about
1 meter (3 feet) from the ground in an open area away
from trees or other obstructions to allow rain to fall
naturally for an accurate reading.
To set up the Rain Gauge:
2

1. Remove screws and slide the cover off in an
upwards motion.
2. Insert the batteries (2 x UM-3 / AA), matching the
polarities (+ / -). Press RESET after each battery
change.

3. Removethebretape.
To ensure a level plane:
Put a few drops of water on the cross at the base of the
funnel to check the horizontal level.

Water will pool to the center of the cross when the rain
gauge is level.
If water remains on 1-4, the gauge is not horizontal.
If necessary, adjust the level using the screw.
NOTE For best results, ensure the base is horizontal to
allow maximum drainage of any collected rain.
SIGNALS
To search for the rain collector:
Press and hold SEARCH / .
