Using the Electronic Counter

3. While watching the display on the electronic counter to see if it changes, slowly tip
the bucket until it drops to the opposite side. If the display does not change, you may
be tipping the bucket too quickly. Try again, more slowly this time.
If the electronic counter display increases by 0.01” (or 0.2 mm if you have the
metric rain collector) each time you tip the bucket, your electronic counter is
working properly and you may continue the installation.
4. Clear the rainfall amount by pressing the button on the front of the electronic counter.

After installing the rain collector, connect the rain collector and electronic
counter by plugging the rain collector cable into the coupler at the end of the
electronic counter’s cable. Once connected, the electronic counter continually
tracks and displays rainfall in either 0.01” or 0.2 mm increments (depending on
the model you own). You may display the electronic counter on a wall, shelf,
table, or other similar surface.
To Display the Electronic Counter on a Wall
Slide the wall mounting bracket over the end of the electronic counter. The
slots on the side of the electronic counter act as a guide. Remove the backing
from the adhesive pad on the back of the mounting bracket and stick the
mounting bracket (and electronic counter) to the wall in the desired location.
To Display the Electronic Counter on a Shelf or Table
Pop the brace free from the battery cover. You may wish to use a coin, small
screwdriver, or a fingernail in the slot at the bottom of the unit to get the brace
free. Use the brace to prop up the electronic counter on any flat surface (desk,
table, shelf, etc.).
