3. Setup

3.1. Battery Installation

Both the indoor display console and the outdoor sensor unit require batteries for operation.

• Outdoor Sensor: Requires 4 AA batteries (not included). Locate the battery compartment at the base of the outdoor unit. Ensure correct polarity. The outdoor unit can operate for up to 2 years on a single set of batteries.
• Indoor Console: Requires 3 AAA batteries (not included). Locate the battery compartment on the back of the console. Ensure correct polarity.

It is recommended to use high-quality alkaline or lithium batteries for optimal performance, especially in colder climates for the outdoor sensor.

3.2. Initial Pairing

After installing batteries in both units, the indoor console and outdoor sensor should automatically pair. Place both units close to each other during initial setup. The console will begin searching for the outdoor sensor's signal. Once connected, outdoor temperature, humidity, and rainfall data will appear on the display.

If pairing does not occur automatically, refer to the troubleshooting section for manual pairing instructions.

4. Installation of Outdoor Sensor

Proper placement of the outdoor sensor is crucial for accurate readings.

• Location: Choose an open area where the sensor is exposed to direct rainfall and has good air circulation for accurate temperature and humidity readings. Avoid placing it under eaves, trees, or other obstructions that could block rain or airflow.
• Height: Mount the sensor at least 4.9 feet (1.5 meters) off the ground to ensure accurate rainfall collection and prevent interference from ground-level heat.
• Mounting: Use the provided mounting hardware to secure the sensor to a pole or railing. Ensure the sensor is level to guarantee accurate rainfall measurements.
• Wireless Range: The sensor can transmit data up to 492 feet (150 meters) to the indoor console. Consider obstacles like walls and large metal objects that may reduce this range.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Cleaning the Rain Gauge

Over time, debris such as leaves, dirt, or insects can accumulate in the rain collector, affecting accuracy. It is recommended to periodically inspect and clean the rain gauge mechanism.

• Gently twist the top part of the outdoor sensor counter-clockwise to remove the rain collector funnel.
• Clear any obstructions from the funnel and the tipping bucket mechanism inside.
• Rinse with clean water if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Ensure the tipping bucket moves freely.
• Reattach the rain collector funnel by twisting clockwise until secure.

6.2. Battery Replacement

Replace batteries in both the outdoor sensor and indoor console when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Always replace all batteries in a unit at the same time with new ones of the same type.
