Recharging the Batteries
When there is no solar energy, a fully charged set of batteries can last for about 20 days (approximately
500 hours). A low battery indicator will appear on the display console.
To recharge the batteries:
Remove the battery cover on the bottom of the sensor.
Connect the USB cable to a standard USB power adapter and charge battery until blue LED turns off,
indicating batteries are fully charged.
Once charged, disconnect the USB charging cable.
Close the battery door.

Sensor Mounting
3.1.1
Mounting Guidelines
Mount in a well-drained area. An example of a good mounting location is on the top of a post. If the
sensor is mounted in a pool of water, it will read incorrectly and may degrade the life of the
sensor. An example of a poor mounting location is a table or ground where water can collect.
Mounting orientation is not important. It can be mounted vertically or horizontally, as long as the
vents are not blocked.
3.1.2
Mounting Screws
Open the battery compartment.
Use four screws to fix the base of the sensor on a flat surface.
Close the battery compartment.
