P a g e | 24RAIN SENSORMount the rain sensor on a level surface in an open area within the 200 foot wireless range of thethermo-hygro sensor and on the same side of the house.• Mount the rain sensor at least 6 feet off the ground and level for optimum wireless transmission.• The rain sensor should be accessible to allow for periodic cleaning of debris or insects.• To avoid frequent build-up of debris, do not mount the rain gauge too close to the trees or plants.• Remove the funnel portion (cover) of the rain gauge by twisting it firmly counter clockwise.• Hold the base of the rain gauge flat against the mounting surface then use a levelto make sure the rain gauge (as it rests on the mounting surface) is horizontallylevel.• Use a pencil to trace the inside of the mounting holes on the base of the raingauge to mark the screw locations.• Drill a hole in the center of each marked location.• Hold the rain gauge against the mounting surface so the holes on the base arealigned with screw holes, and then thread washer head screws (not included) intoeach hole and use a screwdriver to gently snug the screws.Note: Do not over-tighten the mounting screws.• The Rain Gauge is self-emptying and can be left out all year or stored in thewinter. If stored for the winter, remove the batteries to avoid leakage.• Be aware of other wireless rain gauges in the area that may cause interference.THERMO-HYGRO SENSORThe thermo-hygro sensor is "weather resistant", but not "waterproof".• To ensure an extended life for the sensor, mount it in a semi-covered place out of theelements at a minimum height of 6 feet.• An ideal location for the thermo-hygro sensor is under the eaves on the North sideof the house to avoid the effects of sunlight.• Mount the sensor 18" down from the eaves to ensure optimum performance. This willassure the temperature of the air coming out of the attic will not affect data collected by thesensor.• The cap on the sensor is for proper airflow for humidity reading and not rain protection. TheThermohygro sensor can withstand rain, snow and temperature extremes. Standing rainand snow may soak into the sensor and cause failure.• To wall mount the thermo-hygro sensor, fix the wall holder onto the desired wall using the includedscrews, plug the sensor firmly into the wall holder and replace the rain cover if it is not already inplace.Note: After mounting the units, if the weather data is not received, press and hold the ▲/DATE buttonfor 2 seconds to synchronize the weather station to the sensors.W EATHER STATIONThe Professional Weather Station is free standing with the base stand or can be wall mounted.Wall mount:• Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out the byabout 0.2 inches (5mm).• Hang the weather station onto the screw. Ensure that it locks into place beforereleasing the professional weather station.Free standing: Simply pull out the stand to the back of the weather station and place ona flat surface.
