Installation & Maintenance

Installation of TR-525 series rain gauge with the MB-525 pole mounting base consists of mounting a 1.25" pipe with a NPT thread vertically into the ground. Typical installations suggest the top of the rain gauge be 36" (91.4 cm) above the ground. Below is a chart that gives the height of each TR-525 rain gauge (Note: the MB-525 adds approximately 1" (2.54 cm) to the overall height.) and the suggest height of the pipe above ground. All distances are approximate.

Once the pipe is installed simply screw the base onto the pipe. Then install the rain gauge onto the base as shown in the manual and the installation is complete.

Maintenance of the base consists of periodically verifying and adjusting the level of the rain gauge if necessary. No other maintenance is required.
