Irritrol – RS1000 – Wireless Rain Sensor

Description

Taking water management to the next level, the proven Irritrol® RainSensor™ Series makes watering in the rain a mistake of the past. The reliable wireless and wired rain sensors conserve water by preventing irrigation during or after sufficient rainfall, while the wireless rain/freeze sensor also helps reduce vegetation damage and icing conditions when the temperature drops below a predetermined set point. With its compact design and host of convenient features, the RainSensor Series is the perfect complement to any standard controller.

• Constant communication between transmitter and receiver – Assures that even after a controller power outage, the controller is continually updated with the sensor’s “wet” or “dry” status
• Versatile mounting options – Requires no special tools – Quick-Clip gutter bracket and 1/2″ conduit adapter included
• Signal strength indicator – Ensures correct installation, communication link and signal integrity (wireless models)
• Patented wireless technology – Unsurpassed by the competition
