10. Positioning of base station and transmitters
• Place the rain sensor horizontally in an area where rain can fall directly into the container, ideally 60 to 90 cm
above the ground on a small platform.
• Choose a shady and dry place for the temperature transmitter. Direct sunlight may trigger incorrect measure-
ment and continuous humidity damages the electronic components needlessly.
• Place the base station in any room of the house. Avoid the vicinity of any source of interference such as com-
puter screens, TV sets or solid metal objects.
• Once the desired location is chosen, check whether the transmission from transmitters to the base station is
possible (transmission range of up to 100 m in open areas). Within solid walls, especially with metal parts,
the transmission range can be reduced considerably.
• If necessary choose another position for the transmitters and/or base station.
• Is the transmission successfully, you can wall mount the temperature transmitter or place it onto a flat surface.
• Insert two mounting screws through the holes in the base of the rain sensor.
11. Care and maintenance
• Clean the device with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.
• The rain gauge is prone to blockages due to its funnel shape. Check and clean the rain gauge periodically for
optimum performance of the rainfall measurement.
• Remove the batteries from all instruments if you do not use the products for a long period of time.
• Keep the devices in a dry place.
11.1 Battery replacement
• Change the batteries of the rain sensor, when the battery symbol appears on the rain quantities display.
• Change the batteries of the outdoor transmitter, when the battery symbol appears on the outdoor temperature
display.
