Sensor Override
Rain switches or moisture sensors are often used in automatic irrigation systems to prevent
automatic watering during rainy or wet conditions. This timer provides convenient sensor
hook-up terminals and a sensor override or bypass option. The override option (OFF) lets
you bypass the sensor for testing. If you are not using a sensor, the sensor setting should be
Sensor N for Off.

display disappears at midnight, until the next time it is triggered.
