Important safety information
Please read this manual carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations in this manual may be dangerous or may violate the law. The manufacturer, importer, distributor and seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions in this manual or any other material. Use this equipment only for its intended purpose. Follow the disposal instructions. Do not dispose of electronic equipment or batteries in a fire or near open heat sources.Product Description
A request from the controller will be answered depending on the wake-up interval delayed by the Z-Rain.
Installation
The device consists of three pieces. The base (1) contains the gauge and a indicator to place it on a flat surface. The electronics block (2) is snapped into the base and a hood (3) covers the case and provides the funnel to collect the rain. Simple close-wise turning mounts and unmounts the hood. Before using the device the batteries need to be inserted into the electronics block. For this the device needs to be opened and the electronics block removed. Once the battery is installed the electronics block need to be placed into the base:
1. The flat side of the electronics block needs to be towards the gauge.
2. You need to push the two snap-in noses from the electronics block away to keep the block tight to the base and to avoid any water leckage.
The base can now be placed on a flat surface. If the surface is not flat - e.g. on soil? the device still must stand even to ensure correct measurement of the rain.
Note: Before the unit is ready for use, please remove the transport lock (small white cushions under the rocker)
Product Usage
Once the device is included and placed on the right spot it will report the rain level and alert on heavy rain. The max. precision of the rain meter is 3,5 mm rain per hour. Please not that the first measurement result right after start of rain may be inaccurate due to the measurement principle. The device counts full buckets of water and the filling level of the bucket prior to the start of rain is undetermined.
Maintenance:
Depending on the environment the device may get dirty over time. Please check the interior of the device frequency to remove old leafs and dirt that may cause incorrect measurements.
