OPERATION

1

To switch between the “CURRENT” and “TOTAL”
rainfall, toggle the switch to the right (SELECT).

Power Outages: During a power outage, Rainwatch will retain the values in it’s counters indefinitely.

No further accumulation will be added until power is restored. If continuous operation during
power outages is required, plug Rainwatch into an U.P.S. (Uninterruptable Power Source).

RAINWATCH has two "counters". They are shown on the face of the instrument as
“CURRENT" and "TOTAL”. The counters are controlled by the switch at the bottom.

1) Make sure the Rainwatch is displaying the counter you want to set

or add to (Total or Current).

2) Operate the mode switch left (RESET/SET) and hold it for 10 seconds

to enter the rainfall counter setting mode. The display will reset
to zero after 6 seconds and the most significant digit (left most) will
begin blinking after the mode switch is held for an additional 4
seconds (10 seconds total) indicating that it can be preset. Release
the toggle switch.

3) To set the blinking display digit, operate the mode switch to the left

(RESET/SET) side and let it return to the middle. The display number
will advance by one. Continue to toggle the mode switch left, advancing
to the number desired.

Manually Adding Counts: It is possible to manually add counts to both memories as necessary.
