Above this amount, the data in counters 1 and 2 will be overflowed and start from 0.
Counter “AUTO”
The rain quantity data will also be displayed and added to the previous recorded data in the “AUTO” counter. The rain data cannot be reset manually.
Note: If no rain is recorded during a period of 2 hours the “AUTO” counter will display the last recorded data. The “AUTO” counter will automatically reset to 0.00 inch or 0.0 mm when rain begins again.
Auto Off Function: The Rain Meter will automatically power OFF when no rain has been recorded the last 12 hours and no keys have been pressed during that period.
Note: When measurable rain begins again or a button is pressed the Rain Meter will automatically power ON and the counters will display:
Counter 1 and 2:
New rain data will be collected and added to the last record before the Rain Meter was automatically powered down.
Counter AUTO:
The counter will automatically reset to 0.00 inch or 0.0 mm and begin displaying current rain data.

Ensure that the rain gauge is placed in a secure and flat location where it can properly collect properly rain quantity without obstruction. Ensure also that the rain gauge is securely mounted at the appropriate location otherwise it may not transmit accurate rainfall data.
