The Rain Check is indispensable in all automatic irrigation systems for residential use. It monitors rainfall levels and automatically overrides the controller to prevent unnecessary irrigation cycles.

Features and Benefits:

• Works with all 24 VAC controllers for maximum versatility.
• Does not change irrigation programs, but automatically interrupts watering cycle when rainfall exceeds pre-selected level. Automatic return to normal watering.
• Water in rain collector pan evaporates faster than soil moisture to permit watering if required.
• Easy to install with adjustable mounting base.
• Collector pan can be removed for cleaning.
• Adjustable stainless steel sensing probes offer the flexibility of triggering the rain shutoff with as little as 1/8" (3,2 mm) of precipitation or when rainfall reaches or exceeds 1/2" (12,6 mm).
• UV resistant plastic construction increases operating life in harsh environments.
• Solid-state design provides greater reliability by eliminating micro switches and thermal devices which may rust and/or wear out.

Specifications:

• Input required: none; connects to valve common wire
• Fuse: 3A
• Multi-valve capacity: Up to three Rain Bird 24 VAC solenoid valves per station
• Not recommended for use with direct acting (non-flow switch) pump start relays
