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.MAIN UNIT - BATTERIES INSTALLATION12312123RGR126N_UM_EN_R7.indd 5 2014/8/21 11:16:29 AM
EN61. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity (+/-) as shown in the battery compartment. 2. Press RESET, or press and hold SEARCH on the main unit to initiate operation. The reception icons ( and ) on the main unit will blink while it is searching for the sensor or rain gauge. NOTE The main unit returns to default settings in each battery replacement.REMOTE SENSOR - INSERT BATTERIES1. Remove the battery compartment cover by screw driver.2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarities (+/-).3. Press RESET after each battery change. LOCATION MEANINGRainfall area Rain collector sensor batteries lowOutdoor temperature area Outdoor sensor batteries lowClock area Main unit batteries lowNOTE Use alkaline batteries for longer usage and consumer grade lithium batteries in temperatures below freezing.REMOTE SENSORThe main unit can collect data from up to two (2) sensors, including one rain gauge and one outdoor thermo sensor. To set up the sensor:1. Open the battery compartment.2. Select a channel then press RESET.3. Close the battery compartment cover.4. Place the sensor within 100 m (329 ft) of the main unit using the table stand or wall mount.TIP For accurate readings, ideal placements for the sensor would be in any location on the exterior of the home at a height of no more than 1.5 m (5 ft); and can shielded it from direct sunlight or wet conditions.SENSOR DATA TRANSMISSIONTo search for a sensor:• Press and hold SEARCH.• The sensor reception icon in the remote sensor area shows the status (see below). 150cm(5ft)RGR126N_UM_EN_R7.indd 6 2014/8/21 11:16:31 AM
EN7ICON DESCRIPTIONA channel has been found.Main unit is searching for sensor(s).The sensor cannot be found.TIP The transmission range may vary depending on many factors. You may need to place the sensor(s) in different locations to get the best result. RAIN GAUGE 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 main unit. The main unit and rain gauge should be positioned within an effective range: about 100 m (329 ft) in an open area. The rain gauge should be mounted horizontally about one meter (three feet) from the ground in an open area away from tress or other obstructions to allow rain to fall naturally for an accurate reading. To set up a rain gauge: 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.3. Remove the ber tape. To ensure a level plane:Put a few drops of water on the cross at the base of the funnel to check the horizontal level. 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. 1234321RGR126N_UM_EN_R7.indd 7 2014/8/21 11:16:35 AM
EN8NOTE For best results, ensure the base is horizontal to allow maximum drainage of any collected rain.SIGNALSTo search for the rain collector:• Press and hold SEARCH. The remote rain collector reception indicator in the rainfall area shows the status:ICON DESCRIPTIONNo signal.Searching for signal.Signal connected.TIP The transmission range may vary depending on many factors.
