TROUBLESHOOTING
Follow
these
simple
checks
before
replacing
your
rain
sensor:
System
will
not
come
on
at
all:
A.
Check
to
see
that
the
rain
sensor
discs
are
dry
and
switch
“clicks”
on
and
off
freely
by
pressing
the
top
of
the
spindle.
B.
Look
for
breaks
in
the
wire
leading
to
the
rain
sensor
and
check
all
wire
junctions.
C.
If
the
rain
sensor
is
dry
and
the
wire
leading
to
it
is
good,
check
the
rain
sensor
switch
by
nicking
the
insulation
of
the
two
“outer”
wires
near
the
unit
to
expose
copper.
Turn
one
sprinkler
zone
on,
and
apply
a
“jumper
wire”
across
the
two
exposed
wires.
If
the
sprinkler
now
comes
on,
the
switch
is
bad.
Wrap
all
nicked
wires
with
electrical
tape.
D.
The
rain
sensor
is
wired
to
function
with
most
controllers
(
normally
closed
).
If
you
are
unable
to
make
the
sensor
work
with
the
suggestion
above
you
may
have
a
unique
controller
(normally
open).
System
will
not
shut
off
even
after
heavy
rainfall:
A.
Check
wiring
for
correct
installation
(See
“Adjustments
and
Operation”
section).
B.
Check
sensitivity
setting
on
rain
sensor,
and
move
the
cap
to
a
more
sensitive
setting.
The
rain
sensor
is
an
accurate
rain
gauge
and
can
be
verified
by
setting
up
a
“tube”
type
rain
gauge
in
the
same
vicinity
and
making
periodic
readings.
C.
Check
for
obstructions
to
rainfall
such
as
overhangs,
trees
or
walls.
