RAIN SENSOR
SETTING UP:
IMPORTANT: Make sure to observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries. The
"+" markings on the batteries must line up with the diagrams inside the battery
compartments. Inserting the batteries incorrectly may result in permanent damage
to the units. During the setup process, place the wireless display and the outdoor
sensors on a surface with 1-3 meters between the sensors and the display. Only use
Alkaline Batteries for the Wireless Display and Thermo-hygro sensor,
rechargeable batteries may not work.
It is important to allow sufficient light to reach the
solar panel while activating the wind sensor.
Make sure the lights are on in the setup room
and the solar panel is facing a 60W light bulb or
brighter - do not cover with hands or other
objects. Remove the black protective foil on the
solar panel and use the provided plastic reset rod
to gently press the reset button once in the hole
on the bottom of the sensor.
Twist open the top of the rain sensor. Remove the securing tape from the
seesaw. Install batteries. Swing the seesaw once to 'wake-up' the rain sensor.
The rain sensor should then be placed under a clear environment.
IMPORTANT: Completely reset the rain sensor:
a. Unscrew the battery cover on bottom of the
rain sensor and remove the batteries
b. Wait 20s, then re-insert the 2 x AA batteries
and re-screw the battery compartment back
c. Swing the seesaw once and put the rain
cover top back.
d. Place the rain senor under clear
environment.
Insert two "C" size batteries into the thermo-
hygro sensor with the correct polarity.
Insert three "C" size batteries into the wireless
display with the correct polarity.
