Rain Bird wireless rain sensor/freeze sensor. WR2-RFC-868

Excellent responsiveness to rain and cold temperatures, reduces water use by up to 35
Rain and rain/freeze sensors are proving to be increasingly standard components of irrigation systems today. Rain Bird has developed the new WR2 wireless sensor to exceed the standard. With revolutionary features, this sensor saves time, improves system performance and enhances your reputation as a water management expert.

Reliable signal transmission and other innovations provide superior responsiveness to precipitation and cold temperatures, while user-friendly features cut installation and programming time in half. Choose your own precipitation set points and save up to 35% on water usage while promoting lush, beautiful green spaces.

Rain Bird designed the WR2 to be installed quickly and easily by one person. Signal strength is displayed on both the sensor unit and the controller keypad. The sensor's innovative, versatile mounting bracket attaches quickly and securely to a gutter or any other vertical surface, such as a fence or wall.

Programming the WR2 is simplified for quick setup. In just a few seconds, you can select set points, program watering modes and save your default settings. The controller keypad displays all settings on the easy-to-read LCD screen, so you can see signal strength, rain and temperature setpoints, battery life and more at a glance. Unlike other rain sensors, the WR2 has a long-lasting battery that can be quickly and easily replaced.

Signal strength is displayed on the controller's keypad using familiar cell phone icons. Dual antennas protect the system from signal interference from radios, cell phones, power lines, etc. The WR2 system overcomes most line-of-sight obstructions, allowing you to freely position the sensor. Weather data is updated every 45 seconds to ensure the most reliable communication between sensor and controller.
