Introduction
Adding a RainSensor or RainSensor + Freeze
to your automatic sprinkler system is an
effective means of conserving water and
lowering your monthly water bill, while
promoting a healthier lawn and garden.
Designed for ease of installation, your sensor-
controlled irrigation system will be up and
running in minutes.
Prior to installing the RainSensor, take a few
moments to read through the instructions in
their entirety. Since the RainSensor is designed
to work with most makes and models of
automatic sprinkler timers, you should also refer
to the instructions provided with your timer for
specific information regarding the connection
and use of a rain sensor or rain switch.
Important:
The RainSensor is rated for 24 VAC power only. Connecting to a higher
voltage may result in severe equipment damage.
Installation methods must comply with all applicable national and local
electrical codes. If you are unsure about proper wiring practices, have a
qualified contractor perform the installation for you.
The RainSensor must not be submerged. Do not install the sensor inside a
rain gutter or any location where water can accumulate.

Summary
Installation Procedure v Adjust Rain Sensitivity: The sensitivity setting determines the amount of rainfall required to trigger the RainSensor and suspend automatic watering. The RainSensor is factory-set at 6mm. Prior to installing the RainSensor, adjust the rainfall sensitivity as preferred to one...
v Select the Installation Site: To operate properly, the RainSensor must be installed in an outdoor location that provides the following conditions:• As close to the timer as possible. If the connection wire will not reach the timer, it can be extended to 100ft (30m) using 18 AWG (1.0mm 2 ) insulate...
v Connect RainSensor Wiring: Route the RainSensor connection wire into the timer through the access hole in the base of the timer cabinet. Note: Avoid routing the wire over any sharp edges where damage to the wire insulation may occur. For best results, hide the wire as much as possible by tucking i...
