3. Mounting the wind meter (Fig. 5)
Important: Before mounting, be sure the wind meter and gateway are within the effective transmission range
Hinweis: To mount the wind meter, you need a mast (not supplied) about 1 – 1.25 inches (2.54 – 3.1 cm) in diameter, and
the hardware necessary to fasten it to the mounting location. If you previously installed such a mast (for mounting antenna, for
example), you can mount the anemometer on that mast.
1.
If necessary, mount and ground a mast as directed in the instructions provided with the mast.
2. Place the supplied U-shaped metal plates around the mast. Insert 4 pieces of the supplied hex screws through the
holes of the U-shaped plates and the holes on the wind meter's mounting bracket.
(The wind vane is above the wind cup and the metal bar of the wind meter is in horizontal level)
3. Tighten the supplied Hex nut onto both ends of each screw.

1. Registration and setup
1)
Place the rain gauge next to the gateway.
2)
Enable your WiFi reception on your iOS / Android device and run the "BRESSER Connect" App.
3)
Select "Weather" and then tap the " i " on the upper right corner to enter the setting display.
4)
Tap "Rainfall".
5)
Tap "+" on the upper right to add a new rain gauge.
6)
Press the tabs back as indicated in fig. 6 to unlock the rain gauge cover.
7)
Lift the rain gauge cover off its base. Then carefully remove the packing tape from the bucket assembly.
8)
Open the battery cover .
9)
Tap "Connect" on the app to search for the rain gauge
10) Insert 2 pieces of AA batteries according to the polarity indicated and close the battery cover within 30 seconds
after tapping the "Connect".
11) Once connected, "Sensor is connected" appears and you have successfully registered your rain gauge. You may
proceed to change the name and photo. Tap the "Save" icon on the upper right corner anytime to save and exit.
12) Replace and lock the rain gauge cover on the base.
13) Return to the "Weather" main display and the rainfall reading will appear after a short time.

2. Testing the effective transmission range
It is recommended to perform a simple transmission test before mounting the rain gauge so as to ensure it is within the effec-
tive transmission range.
1)
Select a mounting location for the rain gauge that is:
-
a flat, level surface and look for a location where the rain gauge can be placed 1 meter or more above ground level
for best transmission
-
Within 50 meter (164 feet) open area from the gateway. Reduced distance if obstacles are between the rain gauge
and the monitor
-
In an area not blocked on the top or sides, so rain can freely reach the rain gauge (for example, not under an
overhang or too close to a building or fence)
Cautions:
•
To prevent false rainfall readings caused by water splashes, do not choose a location that is not level or that is too close
to the ground, a swimming pool, lawn sprinklers, or anywhere water might accumulate or run off
•
The screen in the cylinder of the rain gauge filters most debris (such as leaves) that might fall into the rain gauge. To avoid
frequent build-up of debris in the cylinder, do not mount the rain gauge too close to trees or plants
2)
If there is rain when testing, let the rain gauge work freely and follow below steps:
•
Run the app and go0 to the "Weather" page (make sure your WiFi is enabled on your iOS / Android device and you are
within the WiFi coverage area)
•
If rainfall readings continue to change and update every few minutes, your rain gauge is within the effective transmission
range. Go to below section for mounting your rain gauge.
3)
If rainfall readings continue to change and update every few minutes, your rain gauge is within the effective
transmission range. Go to below section for mounting your rain gauge.
•
Run the app and go to the "Weather" page (make sure your WiFi is enabled on your iOS / Android device and you are
