Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I find this rain guage to be not user friendly. I had trouble getting accurate readings from the time I first started using it. Reaching help by telephone is difficult; often there is no one to answer the phone. When I have found someone on the other end of the phone they have been helpful, but the information they give should be in the instruction manual. The instruction manual needs to be more thorough in order to explain all the possibilities of what can go wrong and how to deal with these situations.

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 warranty 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.
