Figure 4: Rain gauge sensor battery installation
diagram
The LED indicator on the top of the battery door (item
2) will turn on for 4 seconds and then flash once every
49 seconds indicating sensor data transmission. If you
did not pay attention, you may have missed the initial
indication. You can always remove the batteries and
start over, but if you see the flash once every 49
seconds, everything should be OK.
Note:
If no LED light up or is lighted permanently,
make sure the battery is inserted the correct way
or a proper reset is happened. Do not install the
batteries backwards. You can permanently
damage the outdoor sensor.
Lithium batteries are recommended for the best
performance. We do not recommend rechargeable
batteries. They have lower voltages, do not operate
well at wide temperature ranges, and do not last as
long, resulting in poorer reception.
