Placement and Mounting
Mount the WeatherBoss in an easily accessible location. Protect the WeatherBoss from
direct sunlight for better reliability and readability. Moisture can cause corrosion and
premature failure, so avoid direct water and have all wires enter and leave through liquid-tight
connectors, waterproof conduit, or seal the wires with silicone sealant.
WARNING:
Some sealants release acetic acid while curing. Be sure sealant is completely cured
(up to 3 days) before closing control box to avoid corrosion damage.
To mount the WeatherBoss, remove the front cover and unplug ribbon cable from the relay
board. Insert the 4 self-drilling screws provided with the WeatherBoss through the 4 screw-hole
knockouts and fasten the box to the wall. Cover the screw heads with plastic cups provided.
After all wiring is complete and any sealant cured, reattach the ribbon cable and screw on the
front cover.
Alternately, the WeatherBoss may be mounted with drywall screws placed through the corner
holes of the box.
Rain Sensor
The rain sensor detects moisture on the surface of the sensor. It does not measure the
amount of moisture that has fallen. The WeatherBoss junction box has one rain sensor input
labeled RS. To ensure proper readings, the rain sensor should be mounted in a location that will
not be sheltered from rain from any direction. The sensor should be mounted in an easily
accessible location in order to clean any debris from the sensor surface.
