Parts overview Rain gauge and Scope of delivery

Scope of delivery Base station (A), Wireless Rain gauge sensor (B), Mounting accessories (C) Also required (not included):

• Station: 2 pcs. Micro batteries (1.5V, type AA)
• Sensor: 4 pcs. Micro batteries (1.5V, type AA) Screwdriver

Before starting operation

NOTICE Avoid connection faults! In order to avoid connection problems between the devices, the following points must be observed during commissioning.

1. Place the base unit (receiver) and sensor (transmitter) as close together as possible.
2. Connect the power supply to the base unit and wait until the indoor temperature is displayed.
3. Establish a power supply for the sensor.
4. Set up/operate the base unit and sensor within the effective transmission range.
5. Make sure that the base unit and the radio sensor are set to the same channel.

When changing the batteries, always remove the batteries from both the base unit and the sensor and reinsert them in the correct order so that the radio link can be re-established. If one of the two devices is operated via a mains power connection, the power connection must also be briefly disconnected for this device when the batteries are changed. If, for example, only the batteries in the sensor are replaced, the signal may subsequently not be received at all or not be received correctly. Note that the actual range depends on the respective construction materials used for the buildings as well as the respective position of the base unit and the outdoor sensor. External influences (various radio transmitters and other sources of interference) can greatly reduce the possible range. In such cases, we recommend finding other locations for both the base unit and the outdoor sensor. Sometimes moving the sensor by just a few centimeters is enough!

Setting up power supply

Basestation

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment. Ensure that the battery polarity (+/-) is correct.

3. Replace the battery compartment cover.

4. Wait until the indoor temperature is displayed on the base station.
   Remote sensor

5. Loosen the screws at the battery compartment cover with a small Philips screwdriver and remove the cover.

6. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment. Ensure that the battery polarity (+/-) is correct.

7. Replace the cover and retighten it with the screw.
   Battery replacement

8. Press the RESET button on the sensor after every battery change.

9. Press the SCAN button on the base station to re-establish pairing.

Attaching rubber linings

Attach the supplied self-adhesive rubber pads to the clamps as shown to ensure a firmer fitting of the mounting rod.

Remote sensor installation and mounting

Depending on the desired location, the remote sensor can be put on the table or mounted on the wall.

NOTICE! During the installation make sure that the device is a minimum of 1.5 meters off the ground.

The location should be as free as possible from obstacles to ensure an accurate measurement. The remote sensor should be installed/mounted horizontally and within 100 m of the base unit.

Installation on a vertical tube (maximal tube diameter: 26 mm)

1.  Place the back of the mounting base of the remote sensor on the tube and press the mounting clamp against the tube from the other side.
2. Slide 4 screws through the bore holes of the mounting clamp and through the bore holes of the mounting base on the other site.
3. Put on the 4 nuts and tighten the screw connection by hand.

Automatic time setting

After the power supply was established, the clock will automatically search for the radio signal. It takes about 3-8 minutes to complete this process. If the radio signal is received correctly, the date and time will be set automatically and the radio control signal icon turns on.

If the clock fails to receive the time signal, go ahead with the following steps:

• Press the RCC button on the base station until the radio signal symbol flashes.
• If the device is still not receiving the signal, the time must be set manually.
