Ensure that the rain gauge is placed in a secure and flat location where it can properly collect properly rain quantity without obstruction. Ensure also that the rain gauge is securely mounted at the appropriate location otherwise it may not transmit accurate rainfall data.

The rain gauge must be level to transmit correct readings. It is recommended to mount the rain gauge 3 feet or higher off of the ground. Screw the rain gauge down snugly in the holes provided (but not too tight as this will affect the accuracy of the gauge).
