4. Rainfall Adjustment Cap. The rain sensor cap can be adjusted to suspend watering when rainfall amounts of 1/8" (minimum setting) and 1/2" or more has fallen. 5. Freeze Sensor (for models 3208-WRFS and 3208-HRFS only). Prevents the irrigation system from starting when temperatures drop to 37°F or below. When temperatures rise above 37°F, the sensor will enable automatic watering.

MOUNTING THE RAIN SENSOR STANDARD FLAT MOUNTING Mount the sensor on a surface that is unobstructed to rain fall, but away from the path of the sprinkler water spray. GUTTER MOUNTING Allows the rain sensor to be mounted directly to the side of the gutter.
ADJUSTMENTS AND OPERATION When the Rain Sensor activates due to sufficient rainfall (after rainfall quantities of 1/8" through 1/2" or more), the sprinkler system will become inactive until the moisture-absorbent discs inside the Rain Sensor have dried out. To adjust to the desired quantity of rainfall, rotate the cap on the rain sensor housing to the range desired (See Figure 3).
