ALTERNATIVE SET UP: TEMPERATURE / HUMIDITY SENSOR

MOUNTED SEPARATELY

1.Insert 4 type A screws into the holes of the sensor connector. Screw firmly into place, i.e., fence.

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:

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 fibre 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.
