Mounting the Rain Sensor

For best results, the rain sensor should be securely mounted onto a

horizontal surface about 1 meter 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 in-

terval is reached (to clear this testing data on the base station, refer

to the section “MIN/MAX Mode” below).
