5

1.5 m (5 ft)

TIP Ideal placements for the sensor would be in any location on the exterior of the home at a height of not more than 1.5 m (5 ft) and which can shield it from direct sunlight or wet conditions for an accurate reading.

Secure the sensor in the desired location using the wall mount bracket or table stand.

RAIN GAUGE

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.
