Does setting the rain delay on the panel do anything when a rain sensor is hooked up? IE does it add 6 hours delay after the sensor dries out? Thanks

Sorry to say, I don't use the rain sensor feature. I hope someone else can assist you. Nevertheless, the Rainbird SST600i is perfect for what I use it for...everything but the rain sensor.

That's a good question Kevin----I don't have a rain sensor hooked up so I don't know the answer to your question---sorry

I have never messed with the rain delay setting on the panel. I just hooked mine up and nothing more. My rain sensor activates when it gets wet and "turns on". As long as it's on, the sprinklers don't run. When it dries out (hours and hours later), it turns off and at that point the sprinkler is no longer locked. In other words, the delay is built in to my sensor and no need to do anything more.

Why I haven't had to hook up my timer because we been getting a lot of rain. Sorry I couldn't help.

Hi Judi, excuse me if I answer this twice, I hit the send button by mistake. I have not used these in the rain but use them in glass housings outside. If exposure to rain is not a factor then I would not hesitate to use in sensor lamps. Do not use these with dimmer switches. When outside in freezing temps they require a minute to warm up to full brightness. You might check out G.E.'s website for their recommendation for outside exposer to the elements . ...Now that you mention it I am going to install one of these in my lamp outside that is exposed to the weather. We'll see how they work. Hope this helped....Kem Hi Judi, excuse me if I answer this twice, I hit the send button by mistake. I have not used these in the rain but use them in glass housings outside.

As Mr. Levinson already noted, it would best be described as "rain sensor ready" - sensor not included.When I bought mine I was looking for a standard 9001D. This version cost less so the sensor connection was an added bonus.

There is only one sensor and it is inside the unit. I don't think this is meant to be outside, it mounts on the wall in the drywall. Whatever is wired to it will turn on when the set humidity is high enough and off when the humidity level drops to the set humidity.

The rain delay is manual. While in AUTO you press the + button to delay and turn to OFF and back to AUTO to resume. There is no sensor so if you're using the Orbit while out of town, it will run during the rain. With this said, it has kept my Chicago area garden alive through several out of town trips.

No rain sensor. It's for "future application" which may or not happen. I'd suspect that there is a "rain sensor" on the WWW that would/could work, but why bother? Turn the thing off when it rains.

It controls all 6 stations ("controllers/pumps") on my system. Two program levels: 1. Stations 1-4 cover my lawn and then 2. Station 5 and 6 for drip system coverage. I am not using the "rain" feature for disabling the programming when it rains. I hope this answers your question...spec's answer a majority of questions, please read their specifications for more details.

It depends on how often the light is triggered, and how much sun the solar panel receives when it's not rainy. If it's light, but overcast (or rainy) the panel will charge the light, but not as much as the panel in full sunlight.My panel and light are mounted in a location that does not get much traffic, and the light is not often triggered. I imagine that the batteries remain pretty charged, but I couldn't say what would happen if the light was triggered often, and the panel didn't receive full sunlight for a long period of time.

In Seattle where I live, I can see it rain one quarter of a mile from where I live while I receive no rain. Guess what that does to weather predictions. With irrigation caddy it is easy to set up a schedule and turn it off if you see it raining. Perhaps as a middle ground you could get a sensor to automatically shut off the system when it has or is rained.

Turn the knob untill the timer resets for the panel. Then readjust to desired humidity

Yes it will work with a wired rain sensor. I reused my existing rain sensor when I replaced my old controller with this one. It worked well.

I used a momentary switch on the low voltage input side to trigger it on. There is a delay from when it kicks in, its not immediate. The length duty cycle, is adjustable and replacing the capacitor in the clock circuit can expand or reduce the window of time it remains on. But I don't recall the exact parameters as I've not used it in 3 months. Hope that helped you.

There are three sections. Top in sensor, middle is on button, bottom is off button. Any time it is turned on, it will stay on for 30 minutes unless you hit the off button. You can turn it off at any time with the bottom button, but if the sensor determines that it's too humid or moist in the room, it will turn it back on again. If the moisture level is normal, the on and off work the same as any other on/off switch.

On the back of the sensor, there are 2 sensors or contact points. When water touches the 2 points it completes the circuit. It is designed to sit in a drip pan of some sort. You would have to make your own mounts. I believe it senses ambient temp.

Yes I have left it out in the rain. The controller should not get wet but it is on the back of the panel near the top of the unit. The the panels at an angle it does not seem to be an issue. I really love this product I just can not wait until the accessories are available for purchase. I want the 30' extension cable accessory.

You can dry the sensor and hold the button at the same time and it should reset. If the alarm is still sounding then that means that there is moisture inside the actual alarm portion. Please contact our office if we can help further.
