Orbit Rain & Freeze Sensor – Automatic Irrigation Shutoff for Rain and Frost
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Orbit Rain and Freeze Sensor is an automatic shutoff device for irrigation controllers. When rainfall is detected, the sensor interrupts the controller's watering cycle to conserve water. It also shuts off irrigation in freezing conditions to protect pipes and plant roots from cold-weather watering. Connects to the sensor input of a compatible 24V irrigation controller. Suitable for all residential and commercial automatic irrigation systems.
- Application: Automatic irrigation shutoff sensor for rain and freezing conditions
- Compatible with: Most 24V irrigation controllers with a sensor input terminal
- Function: Interrupts watering cycle during rainfall or frost
- Brand: Orbit

Additional Information
Additional Information
The Rain sensor shutoff is designed for automatic irrigation systems, contributing to water conservation by automatically interrupting the watering cycle during rainfall. It includes both metric and standard measurements, allowing adjustment of the millimetres of rain needed before disconnecting and the duration (after rain stops) before reconnecting. In typical installations, the sensor acts as a switch, breaking the circuit to the solenoid on the valves of the irrigation system when it detects rain. This prevents the sprinklers from activating at the scheduled time; allowing the timer to advance as programmed. Once the rain sensor has dried sufficiently, the switch closes again; restoring normal operation of the sprinkler system
