Monitor rain conditions with this wireless rain center. From La Crosse Technology’s The Weather Channel collection, the rain center comprises of a TX24U-IT rain bucket sensor and a white LCD receiver, which stands alone on a tabletop or wall mounts. The sensor measures the total rainfall (with a range of 0 to 787 inches), rainfall for the past 24 hours, and the current rainfall’s heaviness. To prevent water from overflowing, the rain bucket self-empties with its internal system of tilting cups. From up to 330 feet, the sensor transmits data every six seconds at a 915 MHz frequency. The receiver relays the total rainfall and 24-hour rainfall in inches to a hundredth of an inch, and features graphic indicators for current rain conditions. If more than ten counts(0.2-inch readings) of rainfall have been reported in the past 10 minutes, the heavy rainfall indicator appears; this graphic indicator’s animated rain distinguishes it from the light rainfall indicator. The rain center also offers a rainfall alarm over a 24-hour period that beeps when a user-determined amount, from .05 to 4 inches of rain, has been reached. With the easy two-button interface, the user sets the alarm and resets the total rainfall. The 24-hour rainfall total resets to 0.00 every 24 hours. For accurate rain measurement, mount the rain bucket in a secure, flat location without obstructions. The rain center requires the separate purchase of two AA and two AAA batteries. A limited one-year manufacturer’s **covers this item. The receiver measures 2-9/10 inches wide by 1-1/5 inches deep by 3-5/6 inches high, while the rain bucket measures 5-2/3 inches wide by 2-1/5 inches deep by 3-1/2 inches high.
