the temperature sensor) and the main unit within the effective transmission range of 100 feet (30 meters).

•The remote rain gauge must be placed outdoors on the open area, away from the walls, fences and trees and level.

•It is important that excess precipitation can freely flow from the remote rain gauge.

•The remote temperature sensor can be placed indoors or outdoors, depending on the area where the temperature is intended to be measured. If you intend measuring outdoor temperature, place the remote temperature sensor outdoors.

•The main unit must be placed indoors.

NOTE:

1.Avoid pressing any buttons on the main unit before the remote rainfall and temperature data are displayed.

2.The effective operating range may be influenced by the surrounding building materials and how the receiver (main unit) and transmitters (remote rain gauge and temperature sensor) are positioned.

3.Place the remote rain gauge and temperature sensor so that it faces the main unit (receiver), minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture.

4.Though the remote temperature sensors are weather-resistant, they should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow. The best suggested location for the remote temperature sensor for outdoors is under the eave on the north side of the building.

NOTE: When the temperature falls below freezing, the batteries in the remote rain gauge and outdoor remote temperature sensor may have reduced voltage supply and a shorter effective range. We recommend using lithium batteries at temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below.

We also recommend covering the remote rain gauge tightly with a plastic

during the winter time or move it indoors.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

REMOTE RAIN GAUGE

•Unlock the funnel-shaped top on the rain gauge by turning both knobs on the sides in an anti-clockwise direction.

•Remove the funnel-shaped top lifting it off the rain gauge bucket.

•Remove 7 small screws from the battery compartment cover using a small Phillips screwdriver.

•Insert 2 “AA” size alkaline batteries (not included), matching the polarities as shown in the battery compartment.

•Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.

•Insert the funnel-shaped top into the rain gauge bucket and secure it into place by turning the knobs clockwise.

RAIN GAUGE PLACEMENT TIPS

•Make sure that the remote rain gauge is level – check if the ball bearing inside the bucket is at the midpoint of the leveler.

•Place the protective screen over the top to protect the rain gauge from the debris.

•Mount the rain gauge using mounting hardware provided.

•Make sure that the rain gauge is in open area where precipitation falls directly into the gauge’s bucket, ideally 2-3 feet above the ground.
