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.
