• 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

• 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.
