RNE00896TXDigital Wireless Rain Gauge (433MHz)

User Manual Digital Wireless Rain Gauge Rain Gauge Specifications: - Outdoor rain gauge transmitter measures the rainfall and transmits the data to an indoor rain monitor base unit which shows the rainfall information on the LCD display. - The display shows on of 3 available rain modes. No rain / Light rain / Heavy rain. - Range of rainfall measurement on the LCD display: o IN (inch): 00.00 ~ 99.90 o MM (millimeter): 000.0 ~ 999.9 - Rainfall measurement can register accumulation up to: o 99.90IN under inch display mode o 999.9MM under millimeter display mode - Transmission range is up to 100 feet in an open area without interference. Interference from such things as metal siding or wall studs and security systems can reduce the effective transmission range. - Power requirement: o Indoor rain monitor requires 2 “AAA” alkaline batteries (not included). o Outdoor rain gauge transmitter: 2 “AA” alkaline batteries (not included). Important Information: 1) For the initial set-up put the batteries in the indoor rain monitor base unit first and then into the outdoor rain gauge transmitter. 2) For the outdoor rain gauge transmitter, please make sure the counting lever inside the unit is placed in an upright position and is free to swing smoothly. 3) For the best reception and to avoid the outdoor rain gauge being immersed in water while it is raining, please place the outdoor rain gauge on a flat surface above ground level. 4) Do not store or locate the outdoor rain gauge and a counting lever close to any source of magnetic interference or electrical equipment. USING MANUAL Know Your Product Outdoor Rain Gauge Transmitter - Measures the rainfall using the internal counting lever and transmits rainfall & rain mode information to the indoor rain monitor base unit. - Lever resolution: each lever swing = 0.02 inch (0.508 millimeter). - Low battery condition will be detected and displayed on the indoor rain monitor. Indoor Rain Monitor - LCD display o 4 digit display for rainfall measurement ƒ IN (inch): 00.00 ~ 99.90 ƒ MM (millimeter): 000.0 ~ 999.9 o IN / MM indicator o 3 rain mode indicators (No rain / Light rain / Heavy rain) o Antenna wave icon to show synchronization and connection status o Low battery indicators for outdoor rain gauge and indoor rain monitor - Function keys o Reset key ƒ Press the Reset key for 1 second to clear all information on the LCD display. The rainfall data can be reset at any time. If not reset the display will show the total of all rainfall since the unit was activated or until the maximum allowable display is reached. To monitor rainfall in a given time period it will be necessary to reset the unit at the start of the time you wish to measure. o IN/ MM (Inch / Millimeter) selection key ƒ Press the selection key for 2 seconds to view a rainfall measurement in “IN” or “MM” display format. o Light key ƒ Press the Light key, the backlight will be turned on for 5 seconds. o Alarm On/Off switch (located on back of unit) ƒ To turn on the rain alert function, slide the Alarm switch to “On” position. ƒ To turn off the rain alert function, slide the Alarm switch to “Off” position. Getting Started (Power reset procedure) 1. Please make sure batteries are inserted into the indoor rain monitor first and the display appears. The unit will go into “sync mode” for 6 minutes. 2. Insert batteries in the outdoor rain gauge transmitter. 3. In the “sync mode” the indoor rain monitor will receive the outdoor transmission signal within 6 minutes. 4. At the synchronization period, the antenna wave icon will keep blinking on the rain monitor display. 5. When the antenna wave icon stops blinking and remains on the display, this means synchronization has occurred and the main unit has gotten the signal from the transmitter unit. 6. Once the synchronization has occurred, the indoor rain monitor will detect updated rainfall information from the transmitter every minute automatically. 7. If the antenna wave icon does not appear on the display after the 6 minutes synchronization period, it means synchronization has failed. 8. Indoor rain monitor will start synchronization again after 2 minutes until synchronization successful. During the synchronization period, press any key to stop the synchronization procedure. Rainfall Alert Mode description - To activate the rain alert mode, slide the Alarm switch to the “On” position. A beep alarm will sound for 10 seconds when the rain mode is changing. - Rain mode alert description: o No Rain: Take an average of the rainfall less than 0.02IN/0.05MM on the past few minutes o Light Rain: Take an average of the rainfall between 0.02IN/0.5MM to 0.18IN/4.6MM on the past few minutes o Heavy rain: Take an average of the rainfall equal or over 0.2IN/5.1MM on the past few minutes - To turn off an alert mode, slide an Alarm switch to “Off” position. Date Transmission • No Rain - If the latest rain mode was "No rain" and keep a "No rain" mode condition on the past 5 minutes. • Light Rain - If the latest rain mode was "Light rain" and keep a "Light rain" mode condition on the past 3 minutes. • Heavy Rain - If the latest rain mode was "Heavy rain" and keep a "Heavy rain" mode condition on the past one minute. Low battery indicator and battery changing If you see that the low battery indicator(s) has changed to half-full status, please install the fresh batteries as follows: Indoor rain monitor Remove the old batteries from the battery compartment and insert 2 fresh “AA” alkaline batteries. Unit will sync with the outdoor transmitter unit automatically. NOTE: After battery replacement, if you find any data show on the indoor rain monitor display, it must an acuminated data, please press the “RESET” button for 1 second to clear the display and start from 00.00IN or 000.0MM counting. Outdoor rain gauge To change the outdoor rain gauge batteries, you must press and holding the “RESET” button for 5 seconds on the indoor rain monitor and let it re-sync again. NOTE: After batt…
