Sensor can be connected to all stations or devices where signal processing is
foreseen or where a free contact signal is necessary (free from tension).
Feeding cable is 5 m long, made weather resistant, fire retardant and UV resistant.
6. ADVICES AND INSTRUCTION FOR MOUNTING
T
HESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE INTENDED FOR TECHNICAL AND SPECIALIZED PERSONNEL
T
HUS BASIC SAFETY AND WORKING TECHNIQUES ARE NOT DISCUSSED
To guarantee perfect function and facilitate installation, please note the following
indications and warnings:
Check that the cable length is sufficient to link to the station or control
apparatus. The eventual junction for extending the cable must be perfectly
sealed with a cable of the same type and colours.
Warning. Check that the power supply is the same as those indicated on
technical data applied to the device.
To keep efficient and have a perfect functioning we suggest to clean the
sensitive part at least any 6 months or any time is dirty due to smog, leaves,
impurity, etc.
Advices for sensor installation:
1. Choose the most suitable position where place the rain sensor. It has to be put
outside in direct contact with weathering.
2. The sensor is placed slightly tilted (~ 20 °) to facilitate the flow of water, in a
position that does not have shelters to the fall of rain. Place it under the trees is
not recommended because it alters the natural weather event.
3. Support can be of 2 types depending from attack surface; in both cases is
suggested to make the cable exit below:
o Surface flat / tilted – with high resistance adhesive and suitable for weather
or fixed with a screw;
o Fix support such as rod or similar where to apply the metal bracket –
provided – with a screw.
4. Complete cable system and electrical connection to the station or control and
feeding apparatus following the schema on next page. Bind with one or more
clamps the cable to make it integral with the supporting structure.
5. If radio version is used, check rain sensor memorization has been done on
control device (VARIA SLIM RADIO).
6. Make a functional test.
To test a rain sensor is sufficient to wet (pour or spray water) on sensitive part of it;
the sensor transmits the signal of "wet sensor". LED indicators of various apparatus
should light.
