Testing the Wireless Connection and Rain Sensor
1. With the Rain Gauge main casing removed, push
boths side of the toggle switch 15 times.
This will simulate an amount of rain above the 4mm
base setting to activate the “Sensor Wet” function
in the RPS 612 Controller.
2. After 30 - 60 seconds the Monitor will show the
measurement of simulated rain in mm’s and the
RPS 612 will show the centre LED (Sensor Wet)
flashing continually. The LCD display will show
“Sensor Wet”, at this point the controller will stop
all watering for 24 hours.
3. The LED will flash for 24 hours before clearing.
4. If you should require automatic watering immediately
after the test period, move the “Rain Sensor” by-pass
switch to “OFF”.
(The LED will still flash for 24 hours until clearing,
but on the LCD screen you will see “Sensor Dry”)
