GETTING STARTED Position the main unit, rain gauge, and thermo sensor within effective range: • Rain gauge - 100 meters / 328 feet • Thermo sensor - 100 meters / 328 feet IMPORTANT It is recommended that you follow the sequence below when setting up the units: NOTE Every time the battery in the main unit is changed, repeat installation before use. RAIN GAUGE 1. Set up the main unit. 2. Set up the rain gauge, then press and hold SEARCH on the main unit and wait until you receive a signal. 3. Set up the thermo sensor, then press and hold SEARCH on the main unit and wait until you receive a signal. 4. In the event that you do not obtain a signal from a remote unit please repeat the process above. The rain gauge collects rain and takes readings of rainfall rate and the total rainfall over a period of time. The sensor can remotely transmit data to the base station. The base station and rain gauge should be positioned within an effective range: about 100 meters (328 feet) in an open area. The rain gauge should be mounted horizontally about 1 meter (3 feet) from the ground in an open area away from trees or other obstructions to allow rain to fall naturally for an accurate reading. MAIN UNIT 1. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity (+ and -) as shown in the battery compartment. Press RESET, or press and hold SEARCH on the main unit to initiate operation. The reception icon on the main unit will blink while it is searching for the sensor or rainfall gauge. To set up the Rain Gauge: EN 1. Remove screws and slide the cover off in an upwards motion. 2. Insert the batteries (2 x UM-3 / AA), matching the polarities (+ / -). Press RESET after each battery change. Water will pool to the center of the cross when the rain gauge is level. If water remains on 1-4, the gauge is not horizontal. If necessary, adjust the level using the screw. 3. NOTE For best results, ensure the base is horizontal to allow maximum drainage of any collected rain.E Remove the fibre tape. To ensure a level plane: THERMO SENSOR Put a few drops of water on the cross at the base of the funnel to check the horizontal level. 1. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity (+ and -) as shown in the battery compartment. EN 2. Set the channel switch to any channel. The switch is located in the battery compartment. 3. Press RESET on the sensor. 4. Close the remote sensor battery compartment. 5. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the wall mount or table stand. may affect battery performance and signal transmission. You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results. Standard Alkaline batteries contain significant amounts of water. Because of this they will freeze in low temperatures of approximately -12°C (10°F). Disposable Lithium batteries have a much lower threshold for temperature with an estimated freezing range of below -40°C (-40°F). Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold may temporarily reduce the effective range between the sensor and the base station. If the unit’s performance fails due to low temperature, the unit will resume proper functioning as the temperature rises to within the normal temperature range (i.e. no permanent damage will occur to the unit due to low temperatures). For best results: • • • • • • Insert the batteries before you mount the sensor. Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture. Do not place the sensor more than 100 meters (328 feet) from the main (indoor) unit. Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture. Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to the sky, away from metallic or electronic objects. Position the sensor close to the main unit during cold winter months as below-freezing temperatures DATA TRANSMISSION Data is sent from the remote thermo sensor approx. every 78 seconds and every 94 seconds from the rain gauge. The reception icon shows the status - see table. EN THERMO SENSOR RAIN GAUGE Replace the batteries immediately when the respective indicator lights up. DESCRIPTION Searching CLOCK / CALENDAR SETTING Connected Press TIME / SET to toggle among today’s rainfall, time, date, and year. Disconnected If without obvious reason the main unit display shows that the thermo sensor or rainfall connector is disconnected, press and hold SEARCH to enforce an immediate search. SET CLOCK AND CALENDAR If that fails, check: • The remote rain gauge and thermo sensor are still in place. • The batteries of the main unit, rain gauge, and thermo sensor are still good. Replace them if necessary. • The transmission is within range and path is clear of obstacles and interference. Shorten the distance if necessary. Then press and hold SEARCH again. LOCATION ON MAIN UNIT DISPLAY Indoor Temperature Area Remote Thermo Sensor Outdoor Temperature Area Rain Gauge Total Rainfall Area 2. Press and hold TIME / SET for two seconds. 3. Use 4. Press TIME / SET to confirm. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to complete all settings. 6. The order of the settings is hour, minute, year, month and day. or to set the desired value. Today’s rainfall appears on the 1st line of the display and total rainfall is shown on the 2nd line. Press in / mm to toggle between inches and millimeters as the unit of measurement. There are 3 low-battery indicators - see table. Main Press TIME / SET to display the clock or calendar. RAINFALL LOW BATTERY WARNING UNIT 1. RAINFALL HISTORY The rainfall history is displayed on the 1st line of the LCD display. The main unit can record up to 9 days of rainfall. EN Use HISTORY to display the record for a particular day. The day of the record will be displayed with a minus (-) sign. The alarm will go off for one minute when the rainfall reaches the preset value and the rain alarm indicator will flash. A reminder beep will be emitted every minute. Once the rain alarm is on the indicator will not stop flashing unless is pressed or the rain alarm value is changed. To stop the alarm and reminder beep, press any button or change the rainfall alarm value. Caution: Other sensors using the 433 MHz transmission frequency may influence the rainfall reading. Please avoid placing those sensors too close to the unit. To deactivate the alarm, press TOTAL RAINFALL The total rainfall is displayed on the 2nd line of the LCD display. TEMPERATURE The outdoor temperature is displayed on the 3rd line of the LCD display. Use the °C / °F button to select between Centigrade and Fahrenheit display units. To display the commencing date of the total rainfall record, press SINCE. The date will appear on the 1st line of the display. Press again to show the commencing year. The indoor temperature is displayed on the 4th line of the LCD display. Use the °C / °F button to select between Centigrade and Fahrenheit display units. To clear the existing commencing date and reset it to start again, press and hold SINCE. The total rainfall will now be equal to the today rainfall and the unit will start again to collect the rainfall data. RESET This button should only be used when the unit is operating in an unfavorable way. Use a blunt stylus to hold down the button. All settings will return to their default values. RAINFALL ALARM The rain alarm value can be displayed at any time by pressing (( • )). To set the rainfall alarm: PRECAUTIONS 1. Press and hold (( • )) for two seconds. 2. Use 3.
