•
Ideally the sensor should be at least 6 feet off the ground (higher is fine) for best signal transmission.
•
Place the thermo-hygro sensor in a well-shaded area that is protected from direct sun. The sensor will read high if exposed to the sun.
A good location is under the eaves on the north side of the house. A small roof or box may be constructed for it if you do not have an
overhang.
•
The cap on the thermo-hygro sensor is for proper airflow for humidity reading and
not
rain protection. The thermo-hygro sensor can
withstand rain, snow and temperature extremes. Standing rain and snow may soak into the sensor and cause failure. Take care to
ensure that it will not be exposed to a downpour. Light incidental exposure to water typically will not harm the sensor.
Note:
Plug the wind sensor cable into the thermo-hygro sensor
before
installing batteries.
RAIN GAUGE:
The Rain gauge transmits directly to the indoor weather station. When considering the distance from the weather station (330 feet open air),
cut that distance in half for each wall, window, tree, bush or other obstruction in the signal path. Closer is better. Material such as stucco or metal will absorb
a wireless signal. Windows can reflect the signal.
AVOID:
Mounting too tight. Do not screw the rain gauge down too tight. That will result in a low or inaccurate reading. Use just 2 screws, snug not tight.
•
Install the Rain gauge on a level platform that is stationary. If the gauge isn't level it will read low, and if it isn't stationary wind will cause it to read rain
that isn't falling.
•
The Rain sensor should be mounted at least 6 ft. in the air and have a direct line of sight to the weather station.
•
Do not place the rain gauge extremely high as the rain gauge should be accessible to allow for periodic cleaning of debris or
insects.
•
The Rain Gauge is self-emptying and can be left out all year or stored in the winter. If stored for the winter, remove
the batteries to avoid leakage. Be aware of other wireless rain gauges in the area that may cause interference.
