Wireless Combo WR2-RFC-868 sensor

Rain and rain / frost sensors are compulsory elements of irrigation systems nowadays. Rain Bird designed a new wireless WR2 sensor which sets new standards in this field. Thanks to revolutionary functions, this sensor saves time and improves system performance.

Reliable signal transmission and other innovations provide excellent reaction to rainfall and low temperatures, and user-friendly functions shorten the installation and programming time twice.

Properties:

• Faster installation by one person

Rain Bird has designed a WR2 sensor so that one person can install it quickly and easily. The signal strength is displayed on both the sensor and the controller. Innovative, universal sensor mounting bracket enables quick mounting it to a gutter or any vertical surface, e.g. a fence or wall

• Easier use and programming

The WR2 sensor programming has been simplified for quick configuration. In just a few seconds, you can select Setpoint points, program irrigation modes and save the default settings. In the controller interface, all settings are displayed on the readable LCD screen, so that you can check the signal strength in the blink of an eye, temperature and rain values, battery life and other parameters. Unlike other rain sensors, WR2 has a durable battery that can be replaced quickly and easily

• Unique signal reliability

The signal strength is displayed on the controller interface using a readable icon on your mobile phone. Double antennas protect the system against signal interference through radio receivers, cell phones, power lines, etc. The WR2 system can easily locate despite obstacles. Weather data is updated every 45 seconds to ensure the most reliable communication between the sensor and the controller

• Benefits

1. An improved antenna system provides high reliability of the signal that is not available to most obstacles on the transmitter line
2. The sensor signal power indicator enables one person to carry out the configuration, which shortens the installation time
3. Convenient adjustment and monitoring of rain settings and frost using the controller interface
4. Easy battery replacement without the need to disassemble the sensor
5. An exceptionally intuitive controller-based controller interface simplifies programming
6. Easy to use, self-leveling sensor bracket designed for flat surfaces of gutters
7. The antennas are hidden in units, which raises aesthetics and resistance to the solution
8. The "quick shutdown" function interrupts the active irrigation cycle during rainfall
