The RFS5 wireless weather station freeze sensing function will prevent
watering when the outside temperature drops below 37 degrees
Fahrenheit (1.5 degrees Celsius) and allow watering to resume when the
temperature increases above 37 degrees F (1.5 degrees Celsius). The
Sensor LED will display RED during rain or freeze periods. Additionally,
after a rain event, the ProLine® controller will continue to pause
watering for 48 hours after the rain sensor has disengaged in order to
prevent over watering. During the 48-hour extended rain delay, the
sensor LED is ORANGE. In the event you choose to end the 48-hour
extended rain delay, press the Sensor button twice and the sensor will
return to a GREEN color and permit watering. If the rmware version in
your ProLine® controller has an SLW DLY function, you can adjust the factory default setting of 48 hours delay
to a period of 0–99 hours.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Each RFS5 and RFSHUB-5 are shipped together as a mated pair with a factory set security code. Therefore if you
ever need replace an RFS5 always install the mating RFSHUB-5 that ships with the unit. After replacing both
components, you should reactivate the RFS5 using step 2 above to assure communication.
The RFS5 wireless weather station is designed for years of maintenance free operation. You will need to change
the two AAA lithium batteries after approximately 10 years of operation. See instructions under Changing
Lithium Batteries.
Changing Lithium Batteries
To change the RFS5 wireless weather station batteries:
1. Loosen the bottom cover screws on the RFS5 and rotate the
cover in the keyholes and remove the cover.
2. Replace the existing batteries with two (2) new AAA lithium
batteries.
3. Reactivate the RFS5. See Step 2 above.
4. Return to the controller and make sure the Rain/Freeze “On”
LED is green. If the RFS5 wireless rain/freeze sensor and
controller are in communication, the antenna icon will appear in the display.
Verify the remaining voltage in the RFS5 battery at any time by turning the dial to Advanced Menu, Tests. Push
Next to get Outputs, then push DOWN button to get RFS Battery. Push Next to read the remaining voltage.
Note: The RFS Battery function is visible after you have established communication with the RFS5.
