2.2. Location
Select an assembly location at the building where precipitation may be collected by the
sensor unobstructedly. Do not assemble any construction components above the sen-
sor from where water may drop on to the rain sensor after it has stopped raining or
snowing.
At least 60 cm of clearance must be left all round the device. Concurrently, the prevents
spray (raindrops hitting the device) or snow (snow penetration) from impairing the
measurement. It also does not allow birds to bite it.
