6. Battery Installation for the rain gauge
1) Press the tabs back as indicated below to unlock the rain gauge cover
2) Lift the rain gauge cover off its base. Then carefully remove the packing tape
from the bucket assembly
3) Open battery cover and insert 2 pieces of AA batteries according to the polarity indicated.
Close the battery cover
4) Replace & lock the rain gauge cover on the base
5) Hold “CHANNEL/SEARCH” button on the monitor for 3 seconds and the total rainfall
“- - - -“
will flash. The monitor is now searching for all remote sensors. Total rainfall reading
(in this case “0” mm) will appear within 2 minutes if the RF transmission is successful
and the monitor & rain gauge are now within the effective transmission range.
6) If total rainfall
“- - - - “
stop flashing and stay on the display after 2 minutes of searching,
the RF transmission is failed. Shorten the distance between the monitor & rain gauge.
Reset the rain gauge by removing all batteries from the rain gauge and wait for 10 seconds
before re-installing the batteries again. Then repeat step 5 (& 6) until the RF communication
is completed.
NOTE:
Whenever the radio-controlled icon
is flashing on the display, the weather station
is receiving radio-controlled clock signal and the RF reception for remote sensors will stop
temporary for around 8 minutes. Wait until this icon stops flashing (or disappear) before
searching for the remote sensors.
7. Mounting the rain gauge
Before mounting the rain gauge, be sure the rain gauge & monitor are within the transmission
effective range and batteries are installed.
1) Hold the base of the rain gauge flat against the mounting surface then use a level to make
sure the rain gauge (as it rest on the mounting surface) is horizontally level.
2) Use a pencil to trace the inside of the mounting holes on the base of the rain gauge to mark
the screw locations.
3) Drill a hole in the center of each marked location and insert the supplied plastic screw plugs
4) Hold the rain gauge against the mounting surface so the holes on the base are aligned
with the plugs, then thread the supplied washer head screws into each hole
and use a screwdriver to tighten them.
