INSTANT TRANSMISSION is the state-of-the-

art new wireless transmission technology,

exclusively designed and developed by

LA CROSSE TECHNOLOGY. INSTANT

TRANSMISSION offers you an immediate

update (every 6 seconds!) of all your

outdoor data measured from the sensors:

follow your climatic variations in real-time!

This product offers:

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. All segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Then 0.00 inch will

be displayed in both sections of the LCD. If the “0.00” is not

displayed after a few seconds, remove the batteries and wait

for at least 10 seconds before reinserting them.

5. 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.

FUNCTION KEYS

The simple design of this product features 2 keys.

RESET/+ Key:

•Press for 5 seconds to reset the TOTAL rainfall data “0”.

•Press and release to advance the value for the alarm.

ALM/SET:

•Press and release to activate/deactivate alarm

•Press for 5 seconds to enter alarm setting

OPERATIONS

Setting the Alarm

•Press and hold the ALM/SET button until the alarm is flashing

on the bottom screen.

•Advance the alarm value by pressing and releasing the

RESET/+ button.

•Alarm can be set in 0.05” increments from 0.05” to 4.00”

•The icon ((•)) will appear when the alarm is turned ON.

•Press and release ALM/SET button to turn the alarm off.

•To view the alarm pres and hold the ALM/SET button. This

will cause the receiver to beep if the set alarm value has

already been reached.

Resetting TOTAL RAINFALL and 24 HOUR RAINFALL

•Total Rainfall: Press and hold the RESET/+ button. The

receiver will beep, and the total rainfall will reset to 0.00”.

•24 Hour Rainfall: To reset the 4 Hour Rainfall “0.00”, remove

the batteries, wait 2 minutes, and then re-insert the batteries.

Note: The 24H Rainfall ready will not reset to “0.00”. Instead the

value will update every hour.

The 24H Rainfall will only show “0.00” if there was no rain for a full

period of 24 hours.

Light Rain/Heavy Rain Indicator

The wireless rain gauge features 2 rain level indicators: Light

Rain and Heavy Rain.

Light Rain: Indicated by 3 clouds and

rain with no animation.

The Light Rain icon will appear if any rain

is registered over the past 10 minutes.

Heavy Rain: Indicated by 3 clouds with

animated rain.

The Heavy Rain Icon will appear if more

than 10 counts (0.2”) have been

registered over the past 10 minutes.

Low Battery Indicators (RX & TX)

•RX: Indicates the receiver battery is low.

•TX: Indicates the rain gauge battery is low.

MOUNTING

Positioning the Receiver:

The Receiver can be positioned on a flat surface or on a wall.

Foldout Table Stand

The foldout table stand is located on the backside of the Receiver.

Carefully pull out the stand and place the Receiver in the desired

location.

Wall Mounting

Place a screw in the desired location leaving the head extended

about ¼” from the wall. Hang the Receiver on the screw ensuring

that the Receiver locks into place.

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.

•Do not submerge the Wireless Rain Gauge in water.

•Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage

and damage. Replace only with new batteries of the

recommended type.

•Please do not make any attempt to make any repairs to the

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

by qualified personnel. Opening and tampering with the units

will invalidate the warranty.
