2 • OVERVIEW OF FEATURES - RAIN COLLECTOR

Removable Debris Screen

The Debris Screen prevents leaves and sticks from entering into the rain collector. Remove and clean debris periodically to ensure collector accuracy.

Removable Rain Collector Funnel

The Funnel is specially designed with a large 6” opening to maximize the rain collection area.

The funnel is removable for easy cleaning. To remove, simply rotate the funnel in either direction and pull out.

Remove Packing Material

The Rain Collector and Rain Collector Tipping Bucket are packaged with a protective material inserted to prevent excessive movement during shipping. Carefully remove all of these materials and discard them.

Collector Upper Casing

The Collector Upper Casing encloses the sensor/battery compartment component and seals the collection tipping bucket from wind and non-metered rain drops. To remove upper casing from lower casing, press inward on side tabs and lift up carefully.

Battery Compartment & Electronics Box

The Battery Compartment & Electronics Box component of the rain collector slides into place on slots and encases the batteries and other electronics components. To remove this component, squeeze the two tabs and gently slide the box out. Take care that the box is re-installed in the correct manner (with the batter compartment cover facing the outside of the Upper Casing) when slid back in.
