TROUBLESHOOTING
Follow these simple steps before replacing your rain sensor:
System will not activate:
a . Check to see that the paired Wireless 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 Universal Rain Sensor and
check all wire junctions .
c . Check to ensure successful pairing between Universal Rain Sensor
and Wireless Rain Sensor .
d . Inspect paired Wireless Rain Sensor for damage and ensure proper
functionality of unit .
e . The rain sensor is wired to function with most controllers (normally closed) .
If you are unable to make the sensor work with the suggestions above you
may have a unique controller (normally open) .
f . Ensure paired rain sensor has been installed in a location within good
connection range to Universal Rain Sensor Receiver .
g . Check controller bypass feature/switch settings .
System will not shut off even after heavy rainfall:
a . Check wiring for correct installation (See “Installation” section) .
b . Check sensitivity setting on paired 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 .
d . Ensure paired rain sensor has been installed in a location within good
connection range to Universal Rain Sensor .
e . Ensure unit is successfully paired .
