Mounting the Rain Sensor
For accurate results, the rain sensor should be securely mounted
onto a horizontal surface about 2-3ft above the ground and in an
open area away from trees or other coverings where rainfall may
be reduced causing inaccurate readings.
When securing into place, check that rain excess will not collect
and store at the base of the unit but can flow out between the
base and the mounting surface (test by pouring clean water).
After mounting the rain sensor, connect the cable to the thermo-
hygro sensor at the corresponding socket so power supply can
be received and data be transmitted to the base station
The rain sensor is now operable. For testing purposes, very
slowly pour a small amount of clean water into the rain
sensor funnel. The water will act as rainfall and will be
received and displayed at the base station after about 2
minutes delay i.e. when the reading interval is reached.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
1. Extreme temperatures, vibrations, and shock should be
avoided to prevent damage to the units
