1. Identify Installation Location
Prepare the installation location for the Watchdog Wireless
Rain
+Temp
Station.
When choosing a location for your rain collector, keep the fol-
lowing in mind:
• Ensure you have Sigfox coverage in your desired loca-
tion. See the Specmeters.com website to find a link to
the latest coverage map. If you are uncertain of cover-
age, you may consider waiting to install the mast (skip
step 2) until after your device has successfully reported
to SpecConnect.
•
The rain collector contains a magnet - operated switch which
may not operate correctly if the rain collector is mounted
on or near any object which attracts a magnet.
•
Choose a location that is easily accessible for normal clean-
ing and is distant from trees and other sources of pollen or
debris.
•
Avoid locating the Rain Station close to large metal build-
ings or structures. These structures can impede the radio
signals and cause data loss.
2. Install the Mast
• Use and 1 5/8” or 1 3/4” pole or pipe. This mast MUST be
rigid. If the collector moves easily, the wind can create os-
cillations that may record extra tips, resulting in higher - than
- actual rain measurements.
•
When installing the mast, make sure that the mast is verti-
cal such that the Rain Station will be perfectly level when
mounted to the mast. Use of a level for mast installation is
recommended.
• Alternatively, the Tripod Kit can be ordered from Spectrum
for mounting purposes
− (#3396TPS): Kit contains tripod mount for
Spectrum Products, and (3) ground stakes.
