How to Set Up Your Rain Gauge (cont.)

7.Place the base unit as close as possible to the rain cup sensor.

8.Press the “RE-SYNC” button on the back of the base unit. The base unit will search for a signal from the rain cup. The ““ icon appears in the bottom left corner of the LCD to indicate a transmission signal has been sent.

9.The IN temperature reading appears when transmission is successful.

10.If the IN temperature does not appear with 3 minutes, press the “RE-SYNC” button again. If the IN temperature still does not appear, refer to the Troubleshooting Section.

11.The remote will then automatically transmit updated readings to the base unit every 45 seconds.

TIP: Press ‘IN/OUT TEMP’ on the back of the base unit to switch between indoor and outdoor temperatures.

Where to Place Your Rain Gauge

Base unit location:

Place the unit indoors in a well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight.

Rain Collection Cup Sensor location:

1.Place the rain collection cup sensor on a level, horizontal surface for accurate readings.

2.If desired, use the 2 included screws to mount to a solid surface (such as a fence post or a garden shed. Or use the 2 included spikes to mount to the ground. (Please note the rain cup sensor must be horizontally upright for accurate rainfall readings.)

3.The transmission range of the rain cup sensor is 100 feet. The effective transmission range is vastly affected by obstacles such as walls, sheds, trees, etc. Try various set ups for the best results. Shorten the distance between base and rain cup sensor units when necessary.

Place the sensor in a dry, shaded area. Direct sunlight will heat the casing and inflate temperatures readings. Tip: Keep the rain cup sensor at least 3 feet from any obstructions which may affect rain collection. For example, do not place the sensor under a tree, as water dripping from leaves into the rain cup will overstate actual rainfall.

Important: Though the rain cup sensor is weather- and frost-resistant, it should never be completely submerged in water or left outside during snowy weather. Also please note the transmitter should not be left outdoors in temperatures at or below -4°F (-20°C). If the temperature drops to this level, move the rain cup sensor to an indoor area. Both the rain cup sensor and the base unit should be kept at temperatures between -4°F (-20°C) to 140°F (60°C). Extreme temperatures outside this range can permanently damage internal circuitry.
