Toro WIRED RAINSENSOR 53853 - Manual

Introduction
Adding a RainSensor or RainSensor + Freeze
to your automatic sprinkler system is an
effective means of conserving water and
lowering your monthly water bill, while
promoting a healthier lawn and garden.
Designed for ease of installation, your sensor-
controlled irrigation system will be up and
running in minutes.
Prior to installing the RainSensor, take a few
moments to read through the instructions in
their entirety. Since the RainSensor is designed
to work with most makes and models of
automatic sprinkler timers, you should also refer
to the instructions provided with your timer for
specific information regarding the connection
and use of a rain sensor or rain switch.
Important:
The RainSensor is rated for 24 VAC power only. Connecting to a higher
voltage may result in severe equipment damage.
Installation methods must comply with all applicable national and local
electrical codes. If you are unsure about proper wiring practices, have a
qualified contractor perform the installation for you.
The RainSensor must not be submerged. Do not install the sensor inside a
rain gutter or any location where water can accumulate.
