[. . . ] Each obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc. ) will effectively cut signal range in half. Example: A wireless rain gauge receiver with a 330 feet range is mounted on an interior wall, so that the signal has to pass through one interior wall, one exterior wall, and across the 10 feet width of the room between the 2 walls. The first wall will reduce the range to 165 feet, and the second wall will reduce the range to 87 feet. Factoring in the 10 foot room, this leaves a maximum of 77 feet of remaining signal range. [. . . ] The Heavy Rain Icon will appear if more than 10 counts (0. 2") have been registered over the past 10 minutes. Low Battery Indicators (RX & TX) · RX: Indicates the receiver battery is low. MOUNTING Positioning the Receiver: The Receiver can be positioned on a flat surface or on a wall. Foldout Table Stand The foldout table stand is located on the backside of the Receiver. Carefully pull out the stand and place the Receiver in the desired location. Wall Mounting Place a screw in the desired location leaving the head extended about ¼" from the wall. Hang the Receiver on the screw ensuring that the Receiver locks into place. 7 Hanging Hole Hanging Hole Table Stand Positioning the Rain Gauge Position the connected rain gauge outdoor to collect rainfall data. Ensure that the rain gauge is placed in a secure and flat location where it can properly collect properly rain quantity without obstruction. Ensure also that the rain gauge is securely mounted at the appropriate location otherwise it may not transmit accurate rainfall data. It is recommended to mount the rain gauge 3 feet or higher off of the ground. Screw the rain gauge down snugly in the holes provided (but not too tight as this will affect the accuracy of the gauge). 8 Top View Holes for screws Side View MAINTENANCE · Avoid placing the units in locations prone to extreme temperatures, vibration and shock since these may cause damage and inaccurate readings. · When cleaning the display and casing of the Wireless Rain Gauge, use a soft damp cloth only.
