HUMIDITY SENSOR MOUNTED SEPARATELY
1. Insert 4 type A screws into the holes of the sensor
connector.
Screw firmly into place, i.e., fence.
SET UP 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 base station.
The base station and rain gauge should be positioned
within an effective range: about 100 meters (328 feet)
in an open area.
The rain gauge should be mounted horizontally about 1
meter (3 feet) from the ground in an open area away from
trees or other obstructions to allow rain to fall naturally
for an accurate reading.
