7.Secure the sensor in the desired location using the wall mount bracket.
NOTE Use alkaline batteries for longer usage and consumer grade lithium batteries in temperatures below freezing.
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

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.
