Install Rain Sensor Grid
•
Connect the rain sensor wires to the Grey & Green terminals on
Port “5”.
Rain Sensor Guidelines:
•
Install the sensor with "grid" exposed to outside elements where the rain
has a clear, unobstructed path to the rain sensor. Consider prevailing
winds.
•
If the desired location of the rain sensor exceeds the wire length supplied,
use 22 AWG - 2 conductor shielded, twisted pair 50 ft (15m) maximum
length.
Important: Connect shield to earth ground to reduce interference from
lightning and other electrical devices.
•
The sensor can be installed outside (maximum sensitivity) or inside vent
edge (minimum maintenance)
•
Recommended maintenance: Regular cleaning of sensor panel with a mild
cleaning agent is recommended. Dirt or debris can cause the vent to stay
closed even when rain is not present.
Note:
•
There is a 10 second delay from the time the rain sensor senses moisture
to the time the skylight actually starts to close.
•
When the skylight is closed because of rain, it can be forced to open by
holding down the “Open” button even when the sensor is “wet”, however,
the skylight will immediately re-close once the open button is released.
