Product Details

The 260-2593 Precipitation Detector is used to detect the onset of rainfall. The grid sensor activates an internal relay that can be used to automate other equipment or record rain events. A typical application would be to turn off or over-ride an irrigation system during rainstorms. Another application is to close skylights at the onset of rainfall.
