WIRELESS RAIN GAUGE

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

SETTING UP

Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries; avoid rechargeable

batteries.

1. Have the receiver and the rain gauge 3 to 5 feet apart.

2. Place the batteries into the rain gauge FIRST and next into

the receiver. Observing the correct polarization, insert 2 “AAA”

Alkaline Batteries into the compartment at the back of the rain

gauge and replace the cover. Follow the same guidelines for

the receiver.

3. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.

4. Place the rain gauge in an appropriate location. The rain

gauge should be placed in a secure and flat location where it

can properly collect properly rain quantity without obstruction.

The rain gauge has a range of 330 feet. Keep in mind that the

330 feet is in open air with no obstructions and that radio

waves DO NOT curve to go around objects. Real-world

transmission range will vary depending on what is in the path

of the signal. Each obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings,

thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in half.

Example: A wireless rain gauge receiver with a 330 feet

range is mounted on an interior wall, so that the signal has to

pass through one interior wall, one exterior wall, and across

the 10 feet width of the room between the 2 walls. The first

wall will reduce the range to 165 feet, and the second wall will

reduce the range to 87 feet. Factoring in the 10 foot room, this

leaves a maximum of 77 feet of remaining signal range.

This allowance is typically enough for a frame wall with non-

metallic siding; however certain materials can reduce range

even further. Metal siding, stucco, and some types of glass

can reduce signal range by as much as ¾ or more, compared

to the ½ reduction typical of most obstructions. It is possible to

receive a signal through these materials, however maximum

range will be much less due to their tendency to absorb or

reflect a much larger portion of the sensor’s signal.

Note:

When opening the battery cover make sure that the batteries do

not spring free from the contacts since this will cause start and

transmission problems.

Battery Change:

It is recommended to replace the batteries in the unit

approximately every 3 years to ensure optimum accuracy.

MOUNTING

Positioning the Rain Gauge

Position the connected rain gauge outdoor to collect rainfall data.

Ensure that the rain gauge is placed in a secure and flat location

where it can properly collect properly rain quantity without

obstruction. Ensure also that the rain gauge is securely mounted

at the appropriate location otherwise it may not transmit accurate

rainfall data.

The rain gauge must be level to transmit correct readings. It is

recommended to mount the rain gauge 3 feet or higher off of the

ground. Screw the rain gauge down snugly in the holes provided

(but not too tight as this will affect the accuracy of the gauge).

MAINTENANCE

•Avoid placing the units in locations prone to extreme

temperatures, vibration and shock since these may cause

damage and inaccurate readings.

•When cleaning the display and casing of the Wireless Rain

Gauge, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or

scouring agents as they may mark the casing and LCD.

units. Return them to their original point of purchase for repair

by qualified personnel. Opening and tampering with the units

will invalidate the warranty.
