• Batterirum: For batteries (usually in the base of the collector, though not explicitly stated for this unit, it's standard).

5. Opsætning

5.1. Batteriinstallation

1. Display Base Unit: Open the battery compartment on the back of the display unit. Insert 4x 1.5V AA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment.
2. Regnsamler: Open the battery compartment on the rain collector. Insert 4x 1.5V AA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely to ensure weather resistance.

Note: It is recommended to insert batteries into the rain collector first, then the display unit, to facilitate immediate pairing.

5.2. Placement of Units

• Regnsamler:
  • Place the rain collector in an open area, away from trees, buildings, or other obstructions that could block rainfall or create false readings.
  • Ensure it is level to guarantee accurate measurements. A mounting bracket (not included, but typically available) can be used for secure installation on a pole or fence.
  • The maximum wireless transmission range is 100 meters (328 feet) in open air. Obstacles like walls and electronic interference can reduce this range.
• Display Base Unit:
  • Place the display unit indoors, within the wireless range of the rain collector.
  • Avoid placing it near large metal objects, electronic devices, or sources of strong electromagnetic interference.
