Toro WIRED RAINSENSOR 53769 User 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.
