Note: To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting in direct sunlight. We recommend
that you mount the remote temperature sensor on a North-facing wall. The sending range is 80ft;
obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects will reduce the range. Place both units
in their desired location before permanently mounting.
I) The Rainfall Sensor
The rainfall sensor can be mounted in two ways:
• simply placing it in a desired location
• mounting it to a surface with screws
Ensure that the rainfall sensor is completely horizontal and stable.
1. Rotate the rainfall collector separating it from the base.
2. There are two cylindrical holes in the base to guide the mounting screws.
3. Place the base over a desired mounting surface.
4. With a pencil mark the mounting surface through the cylindrical holes.
5. Where marked
start the screws.
6. Place the base over
mounting surface.
7. Install screws
through the
cylindrical holes
and into the started
holes on the
mounting surface.
8. Secure the screws,
ensuring that no
part of the base
can lift off the mounting surface.
9. Remove the manufacturers tape from the teeter-totter on the base. If this is not
done there will be no way to measure rainfall, and no measurement will display
on the indoor weather display.
10. Place the rainfall collector onto the base.
11. Place the 3 tabs (on the rainfall collector) into the tab slots (on the base) and turn
counter-clockwise.
