SETUP

1. Mount the rain collector on a level surface,

positioning it within effective range (30 m / 100 ft) of

the main unit.

2. Put drops of water on the cross at the base to check

the leveling.

RGR682_M_EN_R1.indd 4 2006.8.2 10:18:50 AM

Water staying at position 1-4 means

the gauge is not leveled.

3. Use the metal ring to adjust the leveling of the rain

collector.

4. Remove the ﬁber tape from around the bucket

assemblies.

NOTE Each time the battery in the main unit is

changed, repeat rain collector setup steps 1-4 before
