Introduction 

Before you start installing the rain sensor and putting the device into operation, read these Installation and 
Operating Instructions carefully until the end, especially the section on Safety Instructions 
 

 

Product Description 

The large sensor surface reacts to rain or snow. The switching polarity and the sensitivity are adjustable. The 
switchable heating prevents icing or condensation and accelerates drying. In the most sensitive setting, the 
device is also suitable for detecting fog. The mast or wall bracket, which is available as an accessory, makes 
installation easy. Typical applications are in garden centers, in agriculture, in building control systems, but also in 
homes and gardens. 

 

The rain detector is equipped with a relay contact for switching low voltages up to 30V DC/AC in order to be able 
to act on switching devices such as an awning control unit. The sensitivity is adjustable over a wide range. The 
device is equipped with a heater for faster drying and snow detection.
