AcuRite 00614 Rain Gauge - Manual (Page 3)

Place the main unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. You may place
the main unit on a table top or other flat surface.
Placement of Main Unit
The wireless rain collector MUST BE PLACED OUTDOORS to observe
and record rain measurements and relay the information to the main
unit display. The wireless rain collector must be placed less than 100
feet from the main unit.
The wireless rain collector MUST be placed on a flat, level surface to
allow for proper rain measurement. Make certain the rain collector is
not placed in a low spot that may become flooded or in an are where
there are obstructions above it such as trees or other structures that
may block the rain from being collected properly.
It is strongly recommended that the rain collector be mounted to a
solid, flat surface such as a deck railing for best results.

Now that setup is complete, you must choose a location to place the wireless
rain collector and the main unit. The wireless rain collector MUST be placed less
than 100 feet away from the main unit.
This wireless rain gauge uses radio frequency for communication, which is
susceptible to interference from other electronic devices and large metallic
items or thick walls. Always place both units at least 3 feet away from
appliances ( TV, microwave, radios, etc. ) or objects ( large metal surfaces, thick
stone walls, etc. ) that may interfere with the wireless communication.
It is recommended that the rain collector be mounted to a solid, level surface
with limited grass growth such as a deck railing or similar surface. To mount
the rain collector, first separate the lower casing base from the upper casing.
Next locate the four holes within the lower casing base. Then, using only hand
tools (power tools may slip during use, possibly damaging sensitive rain
collector components), secure the lower casing base to the chosen surface
using the appropriate hardware.
