4. Detach the rain collector cone and snip the cable tie.

Detach the black rain collector cone from its base by rotating the cone

counter-clockwise until its latches line up with the latch openings in the base

and then lift the cone off. (The cone ﬁts tightly and may require extra pres-

sure to remove it the ﬁrst time.) C

arefully cut and remove the black cable tie

which holds the bucket in place during shipping.

Do not re-attach the rain collector cone at this point; you will need to test the

tipping bucket before you complete the installation.

5. Apply power to the station console.

To power up the console, ﬁrst remove the console’s mounting base by press-

ing down on the large tab between the two oblong holes on the base’s

underside and pulling the base free. Plug the power adapter into the center

“Power” slot, as shown below, and then plug the other end into a 110 VAC

outlet. Once power is applied, the console should beep twice within 10 sec-

onds if the console is working properly. (If you have the optional Weather-

Link installed, the console should beep three times within 20 seconds.) The

readings will appear dashed out until you connect the sensors.

Note:

If you are going to use a battery as backup, make sure that you plug in the AC power before

installing the battery. Powering up the console with the battery alone may cause the console

to lock up due to insufﬁcient power. (Do NOT use a backup battery if you use the optional

EZ-Solar Power Kit.)

Twist off the rain collector cone.

Snip the black cable tie.
