All data measured by the rain gauge is transmitted to the main unit wirelessly, with the
operating range up to 100 feet (30 meters) in the open area.
Remote rain gauge must be placed outdoors to measure precipitation.
Note: It is critical to power up and test communication between the remote rain gauge
and the main unit BEFORE permanently mounting it outside.
Before you begin
• We recommend using alkaline batteries for the remote rain gauge when
temperatures are above 32°F (0°C) and lithium batteries when temperatures are
below 32°F (0°C).
• Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries cannot maintain
correct power requirements).
• Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity in the battery compartment
• During an initial setup, place the main unit close to the remote rain gauge.
