Setup and Installation

Powering the Units

• Insert required batteries (not included) into the rain gauge display unit, the rain collector sensor, the hygrometer display unit, and its remote sensor. Ensure correct polarity.

Rain Gauge Installation (Model 8703)

• The self-emptying rain collector should be placed in an open area, away from obstructions like trees or buildings, to ensure accurate rainfall collection.
• Ensure the rain collector is level for precise measurements.
• The rain gauge display unit can be placed indoors.
• The wireless transmission range between the rain collector and the display unit is up to 150 feet (50 meters) in an open area.

Hygrometer Installation (Model 8688)

• The hygrometer display unit can be placed on a tabletop or mounted on a wall for convenience.
• The outdoor remote sensor should be placed vertically and out of direct sunlight for accurate temperature and humidity readings.
• Do not place the sensor horizontally or directly on the ground.
• The maximum effective distance between the hygrometer display screen and its remote sensor is within 200 feet (60 meters).

Maintenance

• The 8703 rain collector is self-emptying, requiring no daily manual emptying.
• Periodically check the rain collector for any debris (leaves, dirt) that might obstruct the tipping bucket mechanism and clean if necessary.
• Wipe down the display units and sensors with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Replace batteries in all units when the low battery indicator appears on the display, or if readings become inconsistent.

Troubleshooting

No Readings or Inconsistent Data

• Check Batteries: Ensure all units have fresh batteries and are inserted correctly.
• Transmission Range: Verify that the outdoor sensors are within the specified wireless range of their respective display units (150ft/50m for rain gauge, 200ft/60m for hygrometer). Reduce obstacles between units.
• Sensor Placement: Ensure outdoor sensors are placed vertically and away from direct sunlight or heat sources that could affect readings.
• Re-sync: If connection is lost, try re-syncing the sensors with their display units according to the quick start guide (refer to specific pairing instructions if provided with product).

Inaccurate Rainfall Readings

• Level Surface: Ensure the rain collector is placed on a perfectly level surface.
• Clear Debris: Check the tipping bucket mechanism inside the rain collector for any debris that might prevent it from tipping freely.
• Obstructions: Confirm there are no overhead obstructions (trees, eaves) that could block rain from entering the collector.
