4. Prepare the rain collector for use.
Detach the black rain collector cone from its base by rotating the cone
counter-clockwise until its latches line up with the latch openings in the base
and then lift the cone off. (The cone fits tightly and may require extra pres-
sure to remove it the first time.)
Carefully cut and remove the black cable tie
which holds the bucket in place during shipping.
Do not re-attach the rain collector cone at this point; you will need to test the
tipping bucket before you complete the installation.
5. Apply power to the station console.
To power up the console, first remove the console’s mounting base by press-
ing down on the large tab between the two oblong holes on the base’s
underside and pulling the base free. Plug the power adapter into the center
“Power” slot, as shown in the following figure, and then plug the other end
into a 110 VAC outlet.
Once power is applied, the console should beep three times within 20 sec-
onds if the console and receiver are working properly. (Or, if you have the
optional WeatherLink
®
installed, listen for four beeps within 30 seconds.)
Note:
If you are going to use a battery as backup, make sure that you plug in the AC power before
installing the battery. Powering up the console with the battery alone may cause the console to
lock up due to insufficient power.
Twist off the rain collector cone.
Snip the black cable tie.
