7.Slide the solar panel connector into place on the other side of the bracket. Slot the solar panel in place.

8.Adjust the solar panel. Once facing desired direction, use screw to fix in place.

9.Loosen the wing bolt and adjust the angle. Tighten wing bolt to secure solar panel at desired angle.

10.Remove outdoor sensor from casing. Plug one solar panel cable into the socket. Replace sensor into the casing.

NOTE For best results, direct solar panel as follows:

1.Insert 4 type A screws into the holes of the sensor connector. Screw firmly into place, i.e., fence.

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 UM-3 / AA), matching the polarities (+ / -). Press RESET after each battery change.

3. Remove the fibre tape.

To ensure a level plane:

Put a few drops of water on the cross at the base of the funnel to check the horizontal level.
