Setting up the rain gauge:
Choose a suitable location for the rain gauge.
– The rain gauge must be positioned outdoors.
The product must not be impaired by objects
and obstructions. Do not position under trees or
next to walls.
– The rain must be able to fall on the rain gauge
without obstructions to achieve an accurate
rainfall measurement.
– Ensure that rain water does not accumulate under
the rain gauge. It must be able to flow off freely.
– The rain gauge must be assembled within the
range of the signal transmission. Walls reduce
the transmission range. Check the signal reception
on the weather station before final assembly.
When you have found a suitable position, ensure
that the surface is completely horizontal to guarantee
accurate rainfall measurement.
The rain gauge can simply be stood in the desired
position or fixed with the screws provided.
1. Mark the drill holes using the rain gauge before
drilling the holes (ø 5 mm), ensure that no elec-
trical cables or water pipes can be damaged.
2. Push the supplied dowel into the drilled hole
until it is flush with the wall.
3. Fix the rain gauge with the screws provided.
11. Inserting and replacing batteries
Put the batteries first into the outdoor
sensor (wind gauge / rain gauge), then
into the weather station.
Wind gauge:
– The wind gauge must be recalibrated when using
it for the first time as well as every time the battery
is replaced. Please refer to section 13.1. To open
the battery compartment, loosen the 4 cross-head
screws on the battery compartment cover.
– Lift off the battery compartment cover.
– Insert the batteries (2 x 1.5 V type AA) ensuring
correct polarity. Ensure that the black strap lies
under the batteries. This strap can be used to
remove the batteries when they need to be re-
placed.
– Place the battery compartment lid on the bat-
tery compartment again. Ensure that the sealing
ring on the battery compartment is positioned
correctly in the recess. Only then is the battery
compartment waterproof.
– Tighten the 4 screws on the battery compart-
ment cover again.
