MOUNTED SEPARATELY

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

Rain gauge

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 ensure a level plane:

Put a few drops of water on the cross at the base of the funnel to check the horizontal level.
