4 • PLACEMENT
Now that setup is complete, you must choose a location to place the wireless rain collector and the main unit. The wireless rain collector MUST be placed less than 100 feet away from the main unit.
This wireless rain gauge uses radio frequency for communication, which is susceptible to interference from other electronic devices and large metallic items or thick walls. Always place both units at least 3 feet away from appliances ( TV, microwave, radios, etc. ) or objects ( large metal surfaces, thick stone walls, etc. ) that may interfere with the wireless communication.

Surface Mounting of Rain Collector
It is recommended that the rain collector be mounted to a solid, level surface with limited grass growth such as a deck railing or similar surface. To mount the rain collector, first separate the lower casing base from the upper casing. Next locate the four holes within the lower casing base. Then, using only hand tools (power tools may slip during use, possibly damaging sensitive rain collector components), secure the lower casing base to the chosen surface using the appropriate hardware.
Placement of Rain Collector
The wireless rain collector MUST BE PLACED OUTDOORS to observe and record rain measurements and relay the information to the main unit display. The wireless rain collector must be placed less than 100 feet from the main unit.
The wireless rain collector MUST be placed on a flat, level surface to allow for proper rain measurement. Make certain the rain collector is not placed in a low spot that may become flooded or in an are where there are obstructions above it such as trees or other structures that may block the rain from being collected properly.
It is strongly recommended that the rain collector be mounted to a solid, flat surface such as a deck railing for best results.
