MOUNTING THE RAIN SENSOR
Standard Flat Mounting
Mount the sensor on a surface
that is unobstructed to rain fall,
but away from the path of the
sprinkler water spray .
Gutter Mounting
Allows the rain sensor to be mounted
directly to the side of the gutter .
Position the gutter mount on the
edge of the gutter and twist the
thumbscrew to secure it in place .
Tips for mounting
a . When looking for a suitable location such as the side of a building or a
post, positioning the Rain Sensor closer to the controller will help to avoid
interference to the wireless signal .
b . Mount in the highest possible position where rain can fall directly upon
the rain sensor .
c . The rain sensor mounting location will affect the reset rate (amount of
time it takes the rain sensor to dry out sufficiently for the sprinkler system
to reactivate) . For example, mounting the rain sensor on a very sunny,
southeastern end of a building may cause the rain sensor to dry out
sooner than desired . Similarly, mounting on the northern end of a building
with constant shade may keep the rain sensor from drying out at all .
Some experimentation with the “vent adjustment tab” will usually yield
satisfactory results .
