RainPoint rain sensor

RainPoint rain sensor

The RainPoint rain sensor is a practical solution for automatic irrigation systems. It works by using a mechanism that detects rainfall and automatically stops watering when it detects more than 3 mm of rainfall. This saves water, prevents overwatering your plants and ensures that the system only works when needed. The product is compatible with most solenoid valve controllers and fits into standard garden installations.

Efficient operation based on rainfall

The sensor keeps the circuit closed until it detects a certain level of rainfall. When more than 3 mm of rain hits the sensor surface, the water absorption plate expands, immediately breaking the circuit and stopping watering. Once the sensor dries, the circuit closes again and the system returns to normal operation. The entire process takes 2 to 5 minutes, ensuring a quick response to changing weather conditions.

Simple installation on irrigation controllers

Connecting the RainPoint sensor is intuitive - simply connect one wire to the C (common) port and the other to the R (sensor) port on the controller. Thanks to its compatibility with most solenoid valve models, there is no need for additional adapters or installation modifications.

Adjustable drying time

The sensor is equipped with a vent ring that allows you to adjust the time it takes for the system to restart after rain. Opener vents speed up the drying process, which can be useful in sunny and windy locations. Under normal conditions, the sensor will restart after about 4 hours and take up to 3 days to dry completely.

Quick test without water

The function for testing the operation does not require contact with water. Simply press the protrusion on the top of the housing - if the connection is correct, a characteristic "click" of the solenoid valve will be heard and watering will stop. This is a quick way to verify the correctness of the installation.
