Optical Rain Sensor / Rain Gauge Review
Optical Rain Sensor / Rain Gauge Feature
- Optical Rain Sensor
- Differnt Modes: Tipping Bucket Emulation / "It's Raining" / Irrigation Control / Condensation / Frost Sensing / Wiper Control / Drop Detection
- Not Mechanical, Chemical, or Conductive
- Very senstive, can detect first drop
The RG-11 Rain Gauge senses water hitting its outside surface using beams of infrared light. It uses the same sensing principle used in millions of automotive rain sensing windshield wiper controls.
The RG-11 is optical-- not mechanical, chemical, or conductive. Consequently, it is far more rugged, sensitive and reliable than any other technology. The sensor is extremely sensitive, and virtually immune to false trips. Yet, it is completely unaffected by jostling and motion. There are no exposed conductors to corrode, and no openings for bugs to crawl into. There is no place for leaves or other debris to collect.
The RG-11 can be used in several applications with numerous modes and sensitivities. Use it to control skylights, windows and louvers. Place it in an HVAC system for humidification detection. Control wastewater systems or other application that require rainfall measurement. Use it to control an irrigation system, water when it is supposed to and turn the system off when its raining.
