The Rain Sensor
For best results, the rain sensorHorizshouldntal bepanelsecurely mounted onto a horizontal surface about 39.37” (1 meter) above the ground (or higher) and in an open area away from trees or other coverings where rainfall may be reduced causing inaccurate readings.
When securing into place, check that rain excess will not collect and store at the base of the unit but can flow out between the base and the mounting surface (test by pouring clean water).
After mounting the rain sensor and placing battery, the rain sensor is now operable. For testing purposes, very slowly pour a small amount of clean water into the rain sensor funnel. The water will act as rainfall and will be received and displayed at the base station i.e. when the reading interval is reached.
Note:
You will need to be able to access your rain gauge periodically to clean debris and possible insect nests. Please keep this in mind when mounting.

When you require additional length to properly mount your sensor, you can use a La Crosse Technology extension cable. The extension cable is 32 feet in length and comes with the appropriate connecter attached, Please visit your local retailer or www.greatbigoutlet.com to purchase.
Phone cable and connections have much more resistance than our extension cable and is not recommended for use. Using phone cable/connection may damage your sensors.
Note:
Using extension cables will shorten battery life.
Warning:
Never cut, splice, shorten or modify your sensor cables or extension cables. Doing so may damage your sensors and will Void you Warranty.
