to ensure accurate temperature readings.
3)
The location you choose is critical for maximizing the transmission range. The remote sensor is
designed to transmit unimpeded 80 to 100 ft. transmitting through walls, metal doors and metal framed
windows may reduce the transmission range. To optimize the transmission distance. The remote unit
should be positioned in a location that minimizes these obstructions. Other interference from electrical
sources such as home security systems. Wireless home entertainment equipment may interrupt the
transmission signal temporarily.
Notes:
1)
The outdoor rain collector must be placed on a level, horizontal surface for accurate rainfall
measurement.
2)
Use the enclosed screw to mouth the rain collector on a solid surface or suse the metal spikes to
secure the unit in a grassy area.
3)
Warning
: Ice will affect the accuracy of rainfall readings and will damage the internal mechanism of the
rain collector. In temperatures below freezing the collector can remain outdoors for temperature data
transmission, but the unit must be placed in a protected area to prevent ice damage.
MAINTENANCE
a) Battery installation of Rain collector
1)
Press the hook and open the rain collector unit outer case and remove the inner cover to access
RESET/RE-SYNC buttons(Diagram 2)
2)
Using a coin, unscrew the battery door at the bottom of the rain collector and insert 2 X AA batteries
according to the polarity markings.
3)
Press the RESET button
4)
Replace the battery door
5)
Remove the tape from the pendulum inside to allow it to move freely
6)
Close the outer case
Note: Make sure the battery door is closed securely to prevent water leakage.
7)
When the OUT temperature is shown on the display of the base unit, synchronization between the base
unit and the remote sensor is complete.
b) Battery installation and activation
Warning:
1)
Do not mix old and new batteries.
2)
Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon zinc), or rechargeable (nickel cadmium)batteries.
3)
For maximum performance in normal conditions we recommend using good quality alkaline batteries.
When temperatures are below 32°F, alkaline batteries can lose power resulting in a loss of remote
transmission. If you reside in an area that experiences frequent temperatures below freezing, we
recommend using lithium batteries to minimize the loss of transmission
