Detailed Functionality
The MONSOON 47.3003 base station provides extensive meteorological data through its display:
Rainfall Tracking: The device records various measurements of precipitation, including:
• Indication of cumulative rainfall.
• Rainfall amount of the last hour.
• Rainfall amount of the last 24 hours.
• Time and date of the last rainfall recording. The middle section of the display typically shows current rainfall, total rainfall, 1-hour rainfall, 24-hour rainfall, time, and date. The bottom section graphically shows daily, weekly, and monthly rainfall values.
Temperature and Alerts: The device wirelessly transmits outdoor temperature and rainfall amounts with a temperature trend display. It also detects the temperature of the indoor environment where the base station is located. The top section of the display alternately shows the indoor and outdoor temperature values. Users can review the maximum and minimum temperature values recorded for both indoor and outdoor environments.
Setup and Placement: For accurate measurement, the self-emptying rain collector should be placed upright in a determined open place, free from obstructions such as buildings or trees. The sensor and main unit are wirelessly paired, eliminating the need for cables.
