 V. Remote rain gauge installation instructions

1. Selection of installation location

   - According to the actual demand, choose the ground, homemade cylinder, iron post flange or the roof of the house as the installation location of the sensor.   

2. Adjust the leveling

   - Use the three leveling screws on the chassis to make the leveling bubble indicate level (the bubble stays in the center of the circle), and then slowly tighten the three M8 × 80 expansion screws for fixing. If the leveling bubble changes, readjustment is required.   

3. Assembly and fixation

   - Assemble and fix the sensor as shown in the figure to ensure firm installation.  

4. Function Test

   - After fixing, open the rain barrel, cut off the nylon tie on the funnel, slowly inject water into the rain sensor, observe the tipping process of the bucket, and check whether the data is received on the collection instrument. Finally, inject quantitative water (60-70mm), if the data displayed on the collecting instrument matches with the amount of water injected, it means that the instrument is normal, otherwise, it must be overhauled and adjusted.

5. Caution

   - During installation, please avoid disassembling the sensor to avoid affecting its performance and accuracy.
