right the way.
Mounting
•
Make sure that the rain gauge bucket is level – check if the ball bearing inside
the bucket is at the midpoint of the leveler.
•
Place the protective screen over the top to protect the rain gauge from the debris.
•
Mount the rain gauge in place using mounting hardware provided.
•
Make sure that the rain gauge is in open area where precipitation falls directly
into the gauge’s bucket, ideally 2-3 feet above the ground.
Placement tips
•
The rain gauge should be placed in an open area away from the walls, fences,
trees and other coverings which may reduce the amount of rain falling into the
bucket. Additionally, trees and rooftops may be sources of pollen and debris.
•
To avoid the rain shadow effects, place the rain gauge horizontally, on the
distance corresponding to two to four times the height of any nearby obstruction.
•
It is important that excess rain can flow freely away from the rain gauge.
