Installation

The wireless rain gauge system operates at 433MHz and does not require wire installation among the
component parts. To ensure successful installation and the best performance, we recommend you
follow the installation instructions in the order they appear in this manual.
1. Selecting a location for the rain gauge
Select a mounting location for the rain gauge that is:
a flat, level surface and look for a location where the rain gauge can be placed 1 meter or more
-
above ground level.
- within 30 meter (98 feet) open area from the monitor. Reduce distance if obstacles is between the
rain gauge & the monitor
- in an area not blocked on the top or sides, so rain can freely reach the rain gauge (for example,
not under an overhang or too close to a building or fence)
Cautions:
- To prevent false rainfall readings caused by water splashes, do not choose a location that is not
level or that is too close to the ground, a swimming pool, lawn sprinklers, or anywhere water might
accumulate or run off.
The screen on the cylinder of the rain gauge filters most debris (such as leaves) that might fall into
-
the rain gauge. To avoid frequent build-up of debris in the cylinder, do not mount the rain gauge
too close to the trees or plants
