The Display Console is used to monitor the weather in your location. It contains
internal sensors capable of measuring temperature and humidity, while it can also
receive remote information from the Rain Gauge and up to eight CM7 Temperature &
Humidity Sensors at once via radio signal.
Your console should be kept indoors, where it will allow you to keep track of the
current weather conditions at a glance.

CM7015
The Rain Gauge measures rainfall by using a tipping mechanism that is moved after
the appropriate amount of rain falls into the rain cone. An amount of 0.3mm of rainfall
is required to tip the mechanism each time, which is then measured and transmitted
wirelessly to the Display Console.
Note: Manually pouring water into the cone can be a good way to check that the Rain
Gaugeisworking.However, as the mechanism is specically calibratedtomeasure
rainfall using a cone of this diameter, readings taken are not representative of the
volume of liquid passing through.
The Rain Gauge is self-emptying, so the rainwater will run down the mechanism and
into the side trays that will allow it to drain out.
Finding a good location for your Rain Gauge can make all the difference between
measuring the rain accurately and taking incorrect readings, so please be sure to refer
to this manual in order to get set up correctly.

3. CM7 Temperature & Humidity Sensor Overview
The CM7 Temperature & Humidity Sensor is used to take remote measurements that
are wirelessly transmitted to the Display Console. It can be used either indoors or
outdoors, but is best-placed in a sheltered position within 100 metres of the console.
Each sensor can be assigned a numeric channel between 1 and 8, so be sure to adjust
these if you are using multiple sensors - as detailed later in this user guide.

Getting Set Up
Setting up your new Wireless Rain Gauge is almost as simple as inserting batteries
into each part and making sure that your Rain Gauge and CM7 Sensor are both within
range of your Display Console. Before doing so though, there are a few steps worth
following in order to customise your setup and get the most out of your CM7015. We’d
recommend running through the setup guide in this order as this will ensure that nothing
important is missed.
Setting up your Rain Gauge
First of all, you’ll need to insert batteries into the Rain Gauge. The battery port is found
atop the base of the Rain Gauge, so will not be immediately accessible. Carefully rotate the
rain cone anti-clockwise to unlock it from the base, then pull it rmly upwards to remove
the cone and expose the tipping mechanism.

The battery compartment is located at the front of the Rain Gauge, facing away from
the mounting panel. Remove the protective cover to access the battery port, as pictured
below.
Place 4 x AAA batteries into the battery compartment, making sure that these are
inserted correctly. Close the battery door and ensure that this clicks back into position.
Don’t re-attach the rain cone just yet, as leaving this exposed will make it easier to install
the Rain Gauge outdoors in a moment.
Note: To avoid operating problems please check the polarity when inserting the
batteries, as inserting them incorrectly can potentially cause permanent damage to the
circuitry of the sensor. Use good quality alkaline or lithium batteries and avoid using
rechargeable varieties, as these are generally unsuitable for this type of device.
Setting up the CM7 Sensor
The next part to set up is the CM7 Temperature & Humidity Sensor, which is used to
measure remote temperature and humidity readings.
Before inserting the batteries, locate the Channel Selector by removing the battery
cover from the rear of the CM7 Temperature & Humidity Sensor. The Channel Selector
is made up of four DIP-switches and will appear as follows:
